Off-Campus Living & Financial Aid
When determining eligiblity for financial aid, Macalester accounts for the same residence & dining costs whether a student lives on or off campus. Therefore, financial aid eligibility is not affected by where a student lives.
In most cases, off campus students must divert a portion of his or her family's financial contribution to the landlord and to a grocery budget when moving from campus housing to off campus housing. But if the amount of financial aid available exceeds the cost of Macalester tuition and fees, the excess amount may be used for living expenses. To request a refund of excess financial aid, students should contact the Student Accounts Office after all financial aid has been credited. Refunds of excess financial aid are generally delivered within ten business days after such a request is initiated.
