FAQ

Do You Accept Financial Aid?

Yes! We know many students rely on financial aid, and we're happy to work with your disbursement schedule. Through our Financial Aid Payment Deferment Program, you can defer your installment payments until your financial aid is released. Please be aware that funds are disbursed directly to you, and you simply pay your balance within three (3) business days of receiving your disbursement. To enroll, you'll need to provide proof of your student status and complete a Financial Aid Payment Deferment Agreement and provide documentation showing you're enrolled in a financial aid program at a university with an expected refund sufficient to cover your lease costs. There is a program fee as well. Contact us for more information, or to be sent your agreement today.

Do You Allow Pets?

We do not allow pets. Add your service animal to your application and register it at southgatecampuscentre.petscreening.com.

Do You Offer Roommate Matching?

Yes, we offer a roommate matching system. If you don’t have anyone in mind that you would like to live with, let us match you up with someone! There’s a Roommate Matching Sheet that you will fill out to let us know more about what you’re looking for in a roommate. Then, we spend weeks in the summer figuring out the best match for you based on that information.

Insurance Coverage?

SouthGate requires tenant liability for every student. All students will be automatically enrolled in a policy from a third-party tenant liability coverage for a small fee. If you would prefer to provide your own policy, you can do so. The third-party policy does not cover personal items, however if you choose to get your own policy, you can ensure that your items will be protected. Please reach out to the office for the requirements of your policy if you are interested in providing your own.

What if I Need to Break My Enrollment?
