| Off-Campus Living & Financial Aid
When determining eligibility 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.
