Enrollment Confirmation Deposits (ECD), once paid for undergraduate, graduate, and professional school students to confirm their first quarter of enrollment, are non-refundable.
The ECD is applied toward tuition and fees assessed for the quarter in which the student has been offered admission. If you need further information and contact details, please log in and review your Official Tuition Charge Statement.
The refund or waiver processes differ by campus and by student level.
Applies to graduate students at all three campuses. The ECD is non-refundable. If you want to enroll in your program for a different quarter than the one you were offered admission to, please contact your academic department.
Programs can petition the Graduate School to confirm enrollment on behalf of a student without paying the ECD (enrollment confirmation deposit). This petition cannot be requested for applicants planning to attend on an F1 or J1 visa. Please refer to the Graduate School Policy 3.1: Graduate Admissions 3.1.4 Enrollment Confirmation on Behalf of a Student.
All admitted undergraduate and post-baccalaureate (non-masters) matriculated students will be required to submit a non-refundable deposit to confirm their admission by May 1. If admitted after May 1, applicants have 20-calendar days following the date of their acceptance for autumn quarter, unless otherwise specified in the admissions letter. For winter and spring quarters, the deposit is due 20-calendar days following the date of their acceptance, unless otherwise specified in the admissions letter. If the student enrolls, the deposit is credited towards tuition. This deposit is not applicable to another quarter (exceptions by appeal to the Director of Admissions) or to another student (no appeals).
