Pest Control Prevention Services
Believing
that prevention is the most important aspect of pest control, Concord
University

room is treated by a professional exterminator on a monthly basis, normally
on the second Thursday of each month. Although the spray is considered
harmless to fish, as a precaution fish tanks should be covered. Residents
with personal health problems should make arrangements to leave the room
during spraying and for two hours afterwards. Preventative pest control
measures coupled with good housekeeping, by both professional staff and
resident students, is essential to minimizing problems associated with
unwanted pests. |

University Center, Main Floor
Approximately 68% of all Concord students receive some type of financial
aid. Financial support comes from the Federal government, institutional
scholarships, and private donors. Whatever the source, students should take
the lead role in insuring all aid they have been awarded has been applied to
their accounts. In other words, it is imperative that students know what
kind of financial aid they have, how much of that aid has to be applied to
their tuition/fees/room and board, and how much money they may get back in
change. The
Financial Aid Office has an open-door policy but at times it may be
necessary to make an appointment to speak with a financial aid advisor.
Students who are interested in Federal financial aid must apply annually as
soon after January 1 as possible for the upcoming academic year. Free
applications for Federal Student Aid are available in the Financial Aid
Office. |
