The initial deposit for San Diego State University (SDSU) is typically $400 for incoming freshmen and transfer students. This non-refundable enrollment deposit secures your spot and is applied toward your tuition fees. The deadline to submit the deposit varies by admission term, usually falling by May 1st for fall admits and November 1st for spring admits.
Some exceptions apply, such as for students receiving financial aid that covers the deposit. Always check SDSU’s official admissions website or contact the financial aid office for the most current information and potential waivers.
