The University of South Dakota does not require an initial deposit for undergraduate applicants. However, admitted students who choose to enroll must submit a $200 enrollment deposit to secure their spot. This deposit is typically due by May 1 for fall enrollment and is applied toward tuition fees.
Graduate programs may have varying deposit requirements, so applicants should consult their specific department for details. Financial aid or waivers may be available for eligible students who demonstrate need. Always verify deadlines and amounts with the admissions office, as policies can change.
