University of Texas at Austin: Can my student be released from the residence hall contract after moving in?
DIRECT ANSWER
No. UT Austin's current 2026-27 move-in guidance says that after a resident accepts the room key, the student cannot be released from the residence hall contract.
The 2026-27 Mooov-In Guide expressly says a resident cannot be released from the contract after accepting the key and identifies May 4, 2027 as the contract end date. Families should resolve any housing decision before key acceptance and consult the signed Terms and Conditions for controlling details.
