What is the SCAD financial aid application? Where can I find SCAD financial aid forms? Students applying for any type of financial aid are required to submit the SCAD financial aid application. This form must be signed and returned to the college by mail. All financial aid documents should be mailed to Savannah regardless of which campus the student plans to attend. Mail documents to SCAD Financial Aid, P.O. Box 3146, Savannah, Ga. 31402. Facsimilies are not accepted. Additional financial aid forms may be requested. The SCAD financial aid application and other financial aid forms are accessible at
Forms/Calendars page. If you have trouble accessing these forms on the Web, contact the office of admission in Atlanta at 877.722.3285, 404.253.2700 or at
scadatl@scad.edu.
When should I begin to apply for alternative loans? The credit check on most alternative loans is good for 90 days before the first day the loan begins. The school will certify alternative loans only for dates that correspond to the terms the loan is intended for. Students are responsible for reapplying for loans that expire before certification. For additional assistance with alternative loans, visit the Financial Aid Guide's
Alternative Loans section.
How do I apply for fellowships? Students are automatically reviewed for the highest qualifying fellowship during the admission review process.
Can financial aid/fellowships cover housing fees? Student/parent loan funds and other forms of financial aid, including alternative loans, are not available to pay residence hall fees since disbursement of those funds does not occur in time to meet deadlines. Students must adhere to residence life and housing deadlines to ensure housing assignment.
When do I sign up for housing? Once a student is accepted to the Savannah College of Art and Design, he or she may apply for college housing after submitting the housing reservation fee. Any full-time, enrolled student is eligible to reside in college housing; however, living in college housing is optional. Because housing space is limited and assignments are made on a first-paid, first-placed basis, students should adhere to the deadlines listed. Priority for housing assignments is based on date of receipt of the $250 reservation fee in the bursar’s office.
How do I sign up for housing? Housing sign-up takes place online at MySCAD.
Read FAQs and step-by-step directions for the
online housing assignment process. Students must pay the nonrefundable housing reservation fee to access the online housing application process.
When will I find out my housing assignment/roommate? Housing assignments are confirmed after July 1 and after the signed housing license agreement and quarterly payment are received. Housing assignments are sent by e-mail and by postal mail.
What do I need to bring to my residence hall room? You do not need to bring furniture. A bed, dresser and drafting table/stool are provided for you. Because space is limited, storage containers are very useful. Appliances permitted in residence hall rooms include personal computers, radios, fans, electric blankets, clocks, blow-dryers, stereos, televisions, VCRs, video games, coffee makers and compact refrigerators up to 4 cubic feet.
What does it mean if there is an advisement hold on my schedule in MySCAD? Typically, the academic advisers and transfer evaluators (for transfer students) place a hold on your schedule while they are in the process of scheduling all incoming students. This means that you will not be able to change your schedule online. If you need to change your schedule for any reason, you can meet with an academic adviser or the transfer evaluators during orientation and/or the first week of classes. They will adjust your schedule at that time.
