The Enrollment Deposit is required of new beginning freshman students in order to confirm their enrollment in the fall term and guarantee a space in the freshman class.
The Enrollment Deposit requires a non-refundable $150 payment. One hundred dollars of the deposit is payment of the Preview Registration fee, and fifty dollars will be applied toward your first tuition bill.
In January, admitted freshman students will receive further information about the Enrollment Deposit. Beginning in mid-January the University will be able to accept payments of the Enrollment Deposit. You may pay your Enrollment Deposit online with a credit or debit card through Welcome2ISU. You may also submit your Enrollment Deposit in person at Illinois State University’s Cashier’s Office or you may send a check or money order payable to Illinois State University to:
Illinois State University, Cashier’s Office
Campus Box 1210
Normal, IL 61790-1210
The deadline for submitting the enrollment deposit for the fall 2010 semester is May 1, 2010.
All new freshmen beginning in the summer or fall term are required to submit an Enrollment Deposit. The following groups of students are not required to submit an Enrollment Deposit: transfer students, former Illinois State students, graduate students, students who have applied for admission as an adult learner, or senior commuters.
No – the Enrollment Deposit is non-refundable. Submitting the Enrollment Deposit confirms your intent to enroll at Illinois State University and secures a place for you in the freshman class.
Contact the Office of Enrollment Management and Academic Services via email at EMAS@IllinoisState.edu or by phone at (309) 438-2157.
If you qualified for an economic hardship application fee waiver at the time you applied for admission, the $50 tuition portion of the Deposit will be waived; you will need to submit only the non-refundable $100 Preview Registration Fee.
If you did not qualify for an economic hardship waiver at the time of admission but feel that you should be considered at this time, you may refer to the Undergraduate Application for Admission or contact the Office of Admissions toll free at (800) 366-2478 if you have questions regarding the application fee waiver.
If you are using College Illinois to pay tuition and fees, you still need to submit the $150 enrollment deposit. The enrollment deposit requires a method of payment along with the form. As soon as fall tuition is posted to your account (approximately mid-July), the $50 tuition portion of the enrollment deposit will be credited and the payment will be applied toward other charges. Once Illinois State University receives funds from College Illinois, the initial payment will be refunded to you, provided no other charges accrue that College Illinois does not cover.
If you have additional questions in regard to your student account at Illinois State University, please feel free to contact Student Accounts at (309) 438-5643. In addition, you can learn more about College Illinois from the Student Accounts web site.
