To reserve a place in the university, all new students who plan to enroll at Furman must make a non-refundable enrollment deposit of $400.  This payment is not covered by scholarship or financial aid.  It will be held until the student graduates or leaves at the end of an academic year. 

Entering freshmen must submit the deposit by January 15 if they are in the Early Decision Program or by May 1 if they are in the Regular Decision program. Transfer students must submit the deposit by May 1 or by the deadline in their acceptance letter, whichever is later. The enrollment deposit establishes eligibility for new students to receive registration materials.

The enrollment deposit is not refundable to students who decide not to enroll or who withdraw for any reason, except graduation, during the academic school year.  The deposit will be refunded, less any fees owed the university, if the student has completed the academic year or has completed graduation requirements during the academic year.

This policy applies to new students who enter the university for the 2005-2006 academic year or later.  Students who entered prior to this date will have their current deposit held for their entire academic career at Furman.  Their deposit will be refunded, less any fees owed the university, when the student graduates or leaves the university at the end of the academic year.
