The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth typically requires an initial enrollment deposit of $400 for accepted undergraduate students. This non-refundable fee secures the student’s place in the incoming class and is usually applied toward tuition costs. Deadlines for submission vary, with fall admits often required to pay by May 1st (National Decision Day). Graduate program deposits differ by department, so applicants should consult their specific program guidelines. Payment methods include online portals, checks, or money orders. Financial hardship exceptions may be available through the admissions office. Always verify current amounts and policies on the university’s official website, as figures occasionally change.
