Students eligible for financial aid
should indicate on their financial aid form if they are planning to
live off campus. This will allow the Financial Aid Office to make the
appropriate budget projections when your financial aid package is
developed. It is important to remember that the institution
does not give a student any direct financial assistance with their
rent. Also, for those students who were not selected to
participate in room selection, the university will make every
effort to maintain their present level of University
aid.
