Tuition Deposit Payment

Your tuition deposit is required after you’ve received your offer of admission.

• The deposit is equal to approximately 20% of your total fees for your first term.
• This will be applied to your tuition –  the remaining balance will be available and is due after you choose your schedule.
• Your offer will expire if the deposit is not received by the deadline listed on your offer letter.
• Tuition deposit extensions will not be accepted.
