We know you have a long to-do list as you prepare to embark
on your first year of medical school so we want to make the ACOM housing process is as
simple and straightforward as possible.
Q: How can I pay for on campus housing when financial aid
isn’t distributed until September?
A: Come live at
ACOM’s on-campus community, Summerfield Square, where we work with students and
ACOM officials to make sure every student gets the most out of their medical
school career.
Q: Does Summerfield Square require proof of income?
A: No, we will accept your financial aid as income. No other
Dothan, AL apartment community will do this and will require you to have a
cosigner (in other words, your parents need to sign your lease with you).
Q: What if my financial aid has not come in yet?
A: We will allow you to defer your housing fees, with no
penalty or late fee, for as many as two months per semester or until your
financial aid arrives.
Q: So nothing is due upfront?
A: No, not entirely. You will be required to pay your
pro-rated housing fee for the month of July (typically two weeks’ housing fee)
in order to receive your keys but will not be required to pay anything else out
of pocket until you receive your financial aid.
Q: How do I sign up for this free service?
A: On move in day you will receive a packet and deferral
information is included there. You must sign the appropriate paperwork by July
31st in order to be eligible.
If you have any other questions about how the deferral
process works, would like more information on the ACOM housing community or
have a general inquiry, please contact us by any of the following means:
