Can I get a wavier this late AND under these circumstances???!!c I dont know what I can do !!! Help Please !</p>
<p>You have to call the Admissions Office and let them know. An Admissions Officer there is the only person who can prevent your file from closing. As for NOT paying your deposit at all…again, it’s up to them, but how are you going to pay for the school year if you cannot even pay your enrollment deposit? You are likely going to have to give them a date this summer that you can get the money. Do you have a full ride there? if that is the case, something might be done, but really when it comes to wait lists, Admissions does not like to fool around and the enrollment deposit is there to make you have some skin in the game if you back out. But again, the Admissions officers are the ones to make this determination, not anyone else.</p>
