Down Payment
When a student is assigned a room for the fall or spring semester, an initial $400 room down payment must be paid by the date designated in the assignment letter. This payment is required by all students to reserve the room, including outside scholarship and financial aid recipients. Students who receive Blinn College room scholarships are exempt from the $400 down payment. If payment is not received by the specified date, the student’s housing will be canceled, and the deposit is forfeited. If the student subsequently requests housing, the assignment will be made on a “space available” basis. When space is unavailable, the deposit is refundable upon request.
Room Cancellations
Students who cancel their rooms between August 1 and the first day of fall classes and January 2 and the first day of spring classes will receive a full payment refund for room rent. The deposit will not be refunded. The room deposit will be refunded if returning students do not attend Blinn College and submit a request in writing before these deadline dates.

The deposit will be refunded to the student when requested the last semester of residence after all monies owed to the college are paid and all provisions of the Housing Agreement have been satisfied. Any student wishing to move from college housing should consult the Housing Agreement for the provisions applicable for release. Authorization for off-campus housing does not relieve the student of housing agreements which have been assumed with Blinn College for on-campus housing.
Refunds
All unclaimed rooms will be declared vacant at 5:00 p.m. on the last designated move-in day. Students unable to claim their room by this date and time should call (979) 830-4461 and request that the room is held. There is no reduction in cost for the late arrival. Adjustments in room and board charges will be made for the late move-ins occurring after the first week of classes in either the fall or spring semester.
The refund for room rent will be prorated for students who withdraw from classes prior to the eighth week for the regular semester and prior to the second week of the summer session. Room rent will not be refunded after the eighth week or the end of the second week of the summer session. The deposit will not be refunded. Room rent is not adjusted for mechanical, heating or air conditioning malfunctions.
Meal (board) refunds will be prorated throughout the semester. Refunds are not made for meals missed because of religious activities, employment, or class conflicts. Meal money not used during a semester is not refundable and is not rolled to another semester.
