Based on IGC Student Housing regulations, you are supposed to receive only 75% refund if you decide to check out within 4 weeks from your check-in date but we are making an exception only for fall 2020.
• If you choose this option, you will not be allowed to come back since your application will be removed from our system as soon as you fill out the permanent check out form. So if you are planning to come back or are not uncertain about this, you should not choose this option.

• If you wish to leave your belongings in your room, you may do so but the password will be changed as you check out and you will be not allowed to access to your room afterward. Please take all necessary and valuable items with you when you leave. We are not going to charge you anything even though you leave them in your current room. However, if you are caught using your room even after you officially check out, you will be evicted from IGC Student Housing for one year and there will be no exception at all. In case of a double bed room, your roommate will also be evicted from IGC Housing for one year with you since the password will be changed once you check out and your roommate should be the only person who would know the new password.
• If you choose this option, you are basically putting a hold on your housing application for fall 2020. Therefore, you should not request a refund by August 29th since we are going to keep your application in our system and allow you to check in in October(tentative) if your University decides to begin face to face lectures. In this case, the refund amount will be calculated on a weekly basis.
• However, if the COVID-19 situation gets worse in Korea and your University decides to implement complete online lectures for the remaining fall semester, there will be no check-in period in October and obviously you will receive 100% refund.
