All dates and deadlines related to Housing Reservation Contract cancellation and deadlines to withdraw from housing are published on TWC's Academic Calendar. The last day to withdraw from housing is also the last day to switch to commuter status. Requests to cancel a housing reservation must be received in writing to info@twc.edu by stated deadlines. Submission of the Community Profile, including the housing security deposit, constitutes agreement to the terms and conditions of the Housing Reservation Contract and the TWC Code of Conduct and Community Life Expectations. Receipt of the Community Profile and housing security deposit guarantees one bed space in housing provided by The Washington Center, if submitted within the appropriate term or program deadline. If there are extenuating circumstances that prevent you from paying the housing security deposit, please contact your TWC advisor or TWC Housing and Community Life as soon as possible.
