Can I use by Financial Aid for Vulcan Village?

Yes - but you must pay your first rent installment of each semester out-of-pocket. You must also have enough excess financial aid showing in your account to cover the cost of each semester minus the first installment you paid (i.e., excess financial aid is the amount of funds that are remaining in your account after tuition and all other costs are taken out before Vulcan Village charges are added).  You will be given a financial aid addendum that must be completed to permit the Vulcan Village staff to place housing charges on your university account.

Do I need to pay any utilities?

No - all utilities are included with your rent. There is, however, an electricity price cap of $190.00 per apartment per month ($120.00 for 2x2 apartments). If the residents in the apartment go over this cap, they simply pay for the difference divided among the residents who live in the apartment. As long as students are not wastefully using electricity, there typically are not overages charged.

·     All utilities (electricity, water, sewage, cable, internet, etc.)
