<p>My son is deciding between two schools and hasn't seen one campus yet. Is it possible to submit enrollment deposits to both to ensure good housing, then withdraw one after he sees the campus in mid/late April? I read in one blog post that some schools say they can withdraw your acceptance if they find out you did a double deposit. (We don't care about losing the money BTW). Don't want to do the wrong thing!</p>
<p>Are you talking about a housing deposit or admission deposit? You can submit multiple housing deposits but are not supposed to submit more than one admission acceptance deposit.</p>
<p>While housing deposits are refundable if you request in time, enrollment deposits are not. However, the answer to your question is that he cannot double deposit. It is much frowned upon and he will risk losing admissions at both schools. If you want to ensure “good housing” make the housing deposit (s).</p>
<p>Absolutely not supposed to submit more than one deposit OTHER than for housing. Just like colleges cannot force you to reply until May 1, the student part of the deal is not to double-deposit.</p>
