<p>Is your entire semester financial aid refund given at once? I'm living off campus with an EFC of 0 and I was only refunded around $2,000 this semester is this correct? With $21,000 dollars of gift aid a year and $ 12460 in "tuition fees". Shouldn't the rest of the financial aid be refunded? So, I should be expecting around $4000 this semester. I still need to pay for rent, food, books, etc.</p>

<p>I have an EFC of 0, and that’s what I got. The refund is based on what’s left in your CARS account after all the bills.</p>

<p>Yea, thanks for the answer but isnt tuition+insurance the only amount that should be automatically charged and the rest should be refunded?</p>

<p>Is there some sort of financial aid adviser I can talk to while I’m on campus?</p>
