Please be careful to not underpay your tuition charges by $100.

As outlined on our application, your Application Fee becomes non-refundable once we make you an offer of residence, and is either applied to your Graduate House Occupancy Fees (if you move in) or forfeited (if you decline, do not respond, or do not move in).
