When to Pay
The $50 application fee is due when you submit the application.
Students should request their I-20 as soon as they are admitted, and no earlier than one year before classes begin. A $200 tuition deposit is required to reserve a place in the program. Students must pay the tuition deposit before you can register for classes or confirm their spots in the program, but it is not required to receive the I-20.
Students will receive a bill at the beginning of each semester for courses and mandatory fees. If you live on campus, then housing and meals will also be on your bill. See the Student Financial Services website for payment deadlines.
Students should not purchase textbooks until after classes begin.
