What do you need to know about financial aid and deferment?

Students will be able to use their financial aid, Florida Pre-paid, Bright Futures, and Scholarships to pay for the housing. In September and January, the student can get a form from the office staff that they fill out indicating when their financial aid is coming in and how much will be available for housing after classes have been paid for. This will hold off the late fees that could happen while waiting for financial aid to drop. The student will be responsible for turning the Financial Aid Deferment form in before rent is due to avoid late fees. The student will have 72-hours to pay off their balance once they receive financial aid.

Are you pet friendly?

No, but we allow service animals.
