- The enrollment deposit is a payment to guarantee an enrollment space. All new students, and former students who were not enrolled in the University during the previous two terms, are required to establish this deposit. “Summer only” and guest students are exempted from this requirement. The enrollment deposit is applied toward the payment of student fees for the term for which the student has been admitted.
