Enrollment fee deadline

The enrollment fee is $325 for freshman students and $250 for transfer students. The enrollment fee secured your place in our incoming class and allows you to apply for on-campus housing. For fall term enrollment, the fee is due by May 1 and is non-refundable after June 1. We recommend completing your application early in the spring term to ensure you meet the priority deadline. However, you can still apply and pay your enrollment deposit on any date, even after June 1.
