<p>Hi, to accept UIUC's college offer, is it necessary to pay a deposit? I accepted UIUC's offer online.. and they haven't asked me to pay any deposit yet... So, deposit or no deposit?</p>
<p>I didn't pay a deposit. I paid for their Summer Registration and Housing(?) deposit though.</p>
<p>There is no acceptance deposit at UIUC, and the fee for the summer registration can be applied to your first semester bill.</p>
<p>Most likely, the only deposit you will pay is for housing, as the previous poster said ($100 for university-owned residence halls). And you cannot apply for housing until you accept you admission, so the housing deposit is basically your acceptance deposit.</p>
