Deadline

Consult the important residence dates for deadline details. 

Mandatory replacement

If you do not meet the cancellation deadline, you must be replaced to obtain a cancellation. A contract holder is charged for the residence fees for as long as no replacement is found for the room. 

To help you find an eligible replacement, post an ad on the Student Housing Billboard.   

Who is eligible to be a replacement?

• Full-time uOttawa students
• A person of the same gender as you if you have been assigned a double room, or a suite, a studio, a connected room at the Henderson Residence, or if your single room is located on a non-coed floor.

Once the academic year has begun, you must be replaced to obtain the cancellation of your reservation, or to have your residence agreement cancelled while it is running. A contract holder is charged for the residence fees for as long as no replacement has been found for the room. Once you have been replaced, we send the confirmation by email to your @uOttawa.ca address.
