going back to @bestcasescenario’s earlier question…would it come tomorrow if priority mail is delivered on sunday in my zipcode?
@kanadiankitkat do you live in the richmond area? considering that uofr might do priority, I’m guessing it might.
The envelope is sent regular mail. My D applied ED1, envelopes were mailed to allow time to arrive by 12/15. On 12/15 the portal opened to allow you to pay the deposit if you are an accepted student. I do remember a few from the ED1 thread were able to make the deposit prior to receiving the envelope. The UR ID is also the same ID you were given after submitting your application, only difference is you use your last name and not the password we used to check application documents etc. If you are able to access and log into the deposit screen you are an admitted student to U of R. Hope this helps, Good Luck everyone!
@mycleo do you know of anyone who didn’t get the deposit screen on the day but got the admitted mail after the date?
@dangjamja No that issue never came up in previous thread, One person confirmed they were unable to access deposit screen and also did not gain acceptance.
@mycleo oh… I guess I didn’t get in.
@danjamja, Wait for the mail to arrive, the portal may not be available. Admissions may have changed the process from ED1 to EA. I wish you the best!
Also, with ED, everyone makes a deposit very soon. With EA, no rush, because deposits not required right then.
The letter came in USPS and I live close enough to Richmond that I got my letter yesterday. Good luck to all of you guys still waiting, and the deposit did not work for me, yet is still got in.
Can those who have gotten their letter post their credentials please? Best of luck to all those eagerly awaiting their letters.
@hopefully2018 this truly gives me hope
Search for your initial email from UR. Mine had a question in the subject line “ is your Richmond application complete”? Your ID is in the email.
In your portal, the list includes “first marking period grades”
My portal is exactly the same. Btw, list says first semester/trimester grades, not marking period. Sorry.
Everyone breathe!!
For international students wondering - emailed my admissions counsellor and decisions will be emailed in the coming week. 
My portal hasn’t changed but it lets me deposit on main site. Good sign?
As of this morning I am able to make a deposit with the original ID assigned after the application was submitted…it did not work last night. Last night I was getting the error message. DD’s portal has not changed.
Same here. Portal hasn’t changed. But as of this morning we are able make a deposit. Did not let us yesterday.
Hi everyone! Long time lurker of this thread. After getting deferred by Northeastern I’m even more anxious about my RIchmond decision. My portal is the same as its always been with the checklist & stuff, but when I checked out that deposit page & entered my Richmond ID it allowed me to continue to make a deposit. Hopefully it’s a good sign?
Thx for the info for international students!
I tried the deposit portal, it’s working now. Cannot wait for the email to verify if it’s true!!!
