Advance Deposits

Admissions Deposit

Undergraduate Students


Fall - The $100 deposit will be applied to the first semester's bill. If the student paid an advance deposit yet never enrolled, they can request a refund of the $100 admissions deposit by May 1 of the current year. Once enrolled, but prior to the start of classes, if the student decides not to attend, they can defer twice (there is no deadline as to date of deferral notice). After the second deferral, the deposit is forfeited and the student must reapply and redeposit. Once enrolled but after the start of classes, if student withdraws, the deposit is forfeited.

Spring - Deposits from transfer students who never enroll are not refundable. Student can defer until fall if they notify Admissions by May 1.
