Canceling and Releasing from the Housing and Meal Plan License
Students can cancel their housing prior to their moving onto campus. Following move-in, students must submit a request to be released from their housing and meal plan license. The attached links detail information about these policies and procedures. The Office of Assignments and Billing manages these processes. For specific questions, please contact our office during normal business hours Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. at (215) 204-7184 and ask for Customer Service Representative Mrs. Jakki Johnson. Students can also contact Mrs. Johnson directly at (215) 204-3280 or by e-mailing her at jakki.johnson@temple.edu.

Undergraduate Housing Deposit Form
Current students desiring to submit a housing deposit must obtain the current housing deposit form and submit the form with payment to the Bursar's Office. This form is available on the "forms" tab on the MyHousing website. Students can submit their housing deposit payment on-line or in-person at the University's Bursars Office.
Housing for Returning Juniors and Seniors
Although space is limited, for the first time in over a decade, housing accommodations will be available for students entering their junior and senior year. We anticipate offering several hundred spaces at the start of the annual Housing Selection Process for students who have expressed an interest in on-campus housing who submit the $250 housing deposit. The Office of University Housing and Residential Life will provide regularly updates with regard to the Housing Selection Process and the availability of additional accommodations for upper class students throughout the process.
Please feel free to call the Office of University Housing and Residential Life at (215) 204-7184 to speak to a staff member. We look forward to assisting you in identifying housing options for the upcoming school year and addressing any additional questions or concerns you may have.
