Here is a response that my daughter just got back from housing regarding her follow-up questions: “The housing contract is a binding agreement; therefore, I would recommend waiting to sign this contract until you are certain about attending UF. The date that you submitted the $25 deposit date determines your priority date, therefore waiting to sign your contract will not affect your room selection priority date if this contract is signed by May 1st.
Regarding the cancellation policy, if the contract is signed and then the student decides not to attend UF, the student must submit a written appeal, and this will then be reviewed and approved by the Housing Team. The student will then be charged with a $225 cancellation fee (The fee will raise after May 1st). With that being said, I highly recommend waiting to sign this agreement until you are committed to UF.”
