Admission Deposit for New Students

Now that you have been admitted, your next important step is paying your admission deposit.  The $200 deposit ($500 for Chicago College of Performing Arts students, $1000 for Pharmacy students) is not an additional fee, but a down payment on your tuition bill for the first semester enrolled and indicates your commitment to enroll at Roosevelt University.  The deposit must be paid prior to registering for your first semester.
