The $20 enrollment deposit is a refundable commitment that secures your spot in class. This allows us to better manage class sizes and ensure that students who reserve seats are truly ready to begin. By setting a lower deposit amount than what many colleges require, we're working to ensure that financial constraints are minimized for incoming students.
If you stay enrolled through the second week of your second term and attend at least one class during that period, the deposit will be fully refunded. If you defer your enrollment, you don't need to pay again—the original deposit still applies and can be refunded once you meet the criteria. The deposit is non-refundable for students who submit payment but do not enroll or fail to meet the above conditions.
