<p>I was wondering since unlike other univs UIUC has acceptance free of cost and we forfiet the housing deposit if we dont attend....does the housing deposit or any other fee have to be paid to them by may 1?????</p>
<p>yes - if you want a spot in a dorm of your choice</p>
<p>It is not required that you send in housing app by May 1 (due date is usually by May 15 to be considered for on site residence halls). However, be aware housing is awarded in order of receipt of applications for it and they have been getting those since January. Those who apply after May 1 have a high probability of ending up in temporary housing; in fact even if you applied today you have that risk and the risk increases each day that you wait. So you should consider getting the housing application in pronto with the deposit. As to any other fees, tuition, rest of housing etc., you actually won't be billed for those until September.</p>
