Next come the deposits!
A tuition deposit of $100 is due before you register for classes. This deposit is paid directly towards your tuition costs for fall. For students enrolling each fall, the tuition deposit is refundable until May 31st of that year.
A housing deposit of $100 is also due to reserve your place in a residence hall. Remember, to get your top choice on halls you will want to get this in soon! Housing applications are mailed each spring and you simply need to complete and return it with the housing deposit. This will help Residence Life to choose where, and with whom, you will be living. For students enrolling in the fall, the housing deposit is also refundable until May 31st of that year.
Payment for these deposits can be made by check or credit card over the phone. You can pay both these deposits in one transaction.
