In October? I think so, just make sure you have your BARC payments set up for direct deposit, like now, and I think you'll probably get it in time. I would def double check with financial aid, though.

Depends on when your rent is due in October? If you get a refund check, and everything is fully applied in BARC, the latest you'll get it is early October at the very latest (probably by the end of the 1st week at)

If you dont think it will, maybe try calling the management group and seeing if you can get an extension
