## Deposit Terms at a Glance

Your enrollment deposit secures your place in the incoming class. Key terms to know:

*   **Deposit amount:** Confirm the exact figure in your admission offer letter or the student portal.
*   **Due date:** Listed in your offer of admission. The deadline is firm but may be extended in certain circumstances — see below.
*   **Refund policy:** The deposit is generally non-refundable after the deadline has passed. If you need to withdraw your enrollment before that date, contact your Admissions Counselor immediately to understand your options.
*   **Deferral carry-over:** If you are granted a deferral, your deposit typically applies toward your deferred enrollment term. Confirm this with your counselor at the time of your deferral request.

## Assistance Options Your Counselor Can Offer

Your Admissions Counselor can review your individual situation and walk you through the following options. Reach out before your deadline — earlier contact means more options available to you.

### Deadline Extension

Counselors can grant a short extension if you need additional time to arrange payment. Extensions are not automatic and must be requested before your current deadline passes.

### Pay-Later Arrangements

In some cases, a pay-later or partial-payment arrangement may allow you to confirm enrollment while completing your payment on a structured timeline. Availability varies; ask your counselor whether this option applies to your situation.

### Deposit Waiver

Deposit waivers are available in limited circumstances. Eligibility criteria may include:

*   Demonstrated financial hardship (supporting documentation is typically required)
*   Participation in select access, equity, or pipeline programs
*   Other criteria as determined by the Admissions Office on a case-by-case basis

**Important:** The enrollment deposit is not broadly waivable. If you are unsure whether you qualify, your Admissions Counselor can review your eligibility or escalate your request to the appropriate office.

#### How the Waiver Request Process Works

1.  **Complete all other enrollment tasks first.** The waiver request form can only be issued once the deposit is your last remaining enrollment task. Make sure all other steps in your enrollment checklist are finished before reaching out.
2.  **Your Admissions Counselor sends you the form.** Once you are eligible, your AC will send the waiver request form directly to you. You cannot access this form on your own and you must contact your counselor to initiate the process.
3.  **Complete and submit the form.** Fill out the form fully and submit it as directed. Incomplete submissions may delay review.
4.  **Your request is reviewed.** Submitted waiver requests are evaluated through a standardized review process.
5.  **You are notified of the decision.** You will receive notification once a decision has been made. If approved, your counselor will walk you through next steps.

## Veterans & VA Benefits

If you are a veteran, active-duty service member, or dependent using VA education benefits (e.g., GI Bill®, Chapter 33, Chapter 30):

*   VA benefit payments do **not** typically cover the enrollment deposit, which is due before federal funds are disbursed to the institution.
*   You may be eligible for additional assistance based on your VA benefit status — contact your Admissions Counselor and mention your VA benefit program when you reach out.
*   Our Financial Aid office can assist with timing, financial coordination, and any VA-specific documentation needs.

## How to Request Assistance

Contact your assigned Admissions Counselor directly. To help them find the best solution quickly, have the following ready:

1.  Your deposit due date
2.  Your specific financial situation and need for assistance
3.  Any relevant documentation, such as a financial hardship letter or VA Certificate of Eligibility

Your counselor is your primary resource and will work with you to identify the option that best fits your current situation.
