Know the Process of Being Approved and Moving Off-Campus

Moving to off-campus housing can be a time-consuming and well-thought-out process. In this module, we will equip you with some knowledge you might need when you begin considering moving off campus. Like most decisions associated with education, there is a significant financial component to living off campus.

Keeping Your Off-Campus Financial Life Organized

Before we decide where we want to live for the following year in school, we need to consider the financial impact it may have in comparison to living somewhere else. For those that are able to receive financial aid, most of the time, financial aid is able to cover your off-campus living expenses if you receive a refund.

Understanding Your Lease and Legal Rights

You should always read over your lease before signing. A lease is a binding contract between you and your landlord. Besides very few unusual circumstances, most students cannot be released from their lease. It is important to know this because if you do not read your lease thoroughly, you might be stuck in a living situation you do not want to be in.
