Refundable Enrollment Deposits

Can you put refundable enrollment deposits down at multiple schools as long as you request refunds by May 1st? If not then why do they make them refundable? Both schools openly tell you the fee is refundable before May 1st and put it down quickly to secure priority housing.

You just answer your question.

@NASA2014 then what is all this I hear about double deposits being unethical? Is that only if you don’t notify by May 1st? I don’t want to do anything wrong.

You can’t have 2 deposits after May 1st. I don’t think colleges should require an enrollment deposit for kids to select housing. It should be a housing deposit only. If the schools you’re considering will refund it, that’s great. I’m not sure all do. Make the deposits so you can secure housing. Just make sure to cancel before May 1st.

Thanks for the help. They are both definitely refundable. I was up half the night last night worried we’d done something wrong!
