Can I use my financial aid?

You should review any documentation concerning grants, loans or scholarships with your parents and the financial aid office. Most loans that would cover on-campus housing should cover Evergreen Commons. It is entirely up to you to do the research. We will require a copy of your loan verification with your first payment in order to waive 1 late fee. You are not able to be more than 1 month behind. Once your loan refund is given to you, it is your responsibility to pay the rent that is due.
