Failure to prepare your room for the possibility of a new roommate may result in the revocation of your License Agreement and/or additional charges.

IF YOU ARE NOT RETURNING TO CSUMB

In order to break your 2012/2013 Student Housing Academic Year License, you are required to submit a License Cancellation Form, which is available at Student Housing & Residential Life, located in the Student Center. License Cancellation Forms can only be turned into the Student Housing & Residential Life Office between 8:00am and 5:00pm Monday-Friday. The last day to turn in forms is Friday, November 30, 2012.
You will need to sign-up for a check-out time to vacate your on-campus space at the time you submit your form. Appointments will be available every 30 minutes between 8:00 am and 7:00 pm, December 17-21, 2012, or between 8:00 am and 11:40 am on December 22, 2012.
