Yes, but the release and deposit consequences depend on the student's status and timing.

For 2026–27, continuing residents may submit a written release request before occupancy by June 1, 2026 under the agreement. New students can also request release before occupancy, but the $500 deposit has separate application/forfeiture implications. Families should obtain written confirmation rather than assume the contract is canceled.
