Many great incentives are available for students who commit early to living in the residence halls or Greek Court. The decision to cancel the Early Bird Contract must be made by December 14, 2012. After December 14, 2012, students are obligated to their Early Bird Contract for the 2013/2014 academic year, addressed in section c below. However, if students will no longer be enrolled at the university, the terms of cancellation are the same as the regular room and board contract, see sections a and b below.
