<p>Thanks, UTHousing and MidwestMom (and others) for shedding some light on this.</p>

<p>I'm still a little confused about the $200 enrollment deposit and the $300 "advance payment" that UTHousing referred to.</p>

<p>I'm using MidwestMom's step-by-step explanation from post #9 to help me understand this better - please tell me if I have it wrong or right:</p>

<ol>
<li>You apply for UTexas admission. Then you apply for housing.</li>
<li>Then you wait.</li>
<li>Then you get your letter of acceptance.</li>
<li>Then you pay your <<< $200 >>> enrollment deposit so they know you are really coming. </li>
<li>Once they have your enrollment deposit, they send you a housing contract. This is when you <<< make your $300 "advance payment" and >>> choose your dorm - you get to pick a first, second and third choice. The order of assigning your dorms and your dorm room is determined by when you applied for freshman year housing.</li>
</ol>

<p>So is the above correct?</p>

<p>Also, which, if either, of those deposits is refundable if you decide not to go to UT and inform UT before May 1?</p>

<p>the housing payment is refundable if you do not go to UT and you decline your admit offer on or before may 1.</p>

23

<p>and yes the above is correct. Both deposits are applied to your first bill.</p>

<p>I live at The Castilian right now and if are looking to the best alternative to UT's housing -- its The Castilian. It's also by far the cleanest dorm in town!</p>

<p>Wait a minute ... I am international ... I didnt know about all this until i read the above posts ... they are asking for 50$ .. but what if i dont get accepted in UT ? Will i get my 50$ back if i pay via. credit card ?</p>

<p>No - the $50 is an application fee and you will not get it back even if you don't get accepted.</p>
