The ROAF payment is the final step in securing your room reservation for Residence at the University of Saskatchewan, which in turn, removes the ability for other applicants to select and benefit from this unit on campus. Therefore, if you cancel your reservation after making your ROAF payment, you will not be eligible for a refund of the ROAF payment or the application fee.
Please refer to the information provided on our website for Moving Out and Notice to Vacate.
You are eligible for a refund if you inform the Residence Services Office, within 10 days of your notification with a copy of your non-admittance letter.

You may accept your Room Offer before you have been offered admission to the University of Saskatchewan, so please adhere to all Residence Services housing deadlines.
