Yes, but the financial result depends on whether a room has been assigned and when cancellation occurs.
For 2026–27, a cancellation before a room assignment has no cancellation fee, although the application fee is generally not refunded. After a fall assignment, published fees escalate from $250 before May 1 to $500 in May, $750 in June, $1,000 in July and $1,500 Aug. 1–19; from Aug. 20 forward, the agreement can charge half of the remaining hall rate, subject to approved cancellation grounds and contract terms.
