The initial deposit for the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) varies by student type. For undergraduate students, the enrollment deposit is $150, which secures their spot and is applied toward tuition. Graduate students typically do not pay an enrollment deposit unless specified by their program, in which case amounts may vary.
International students must also submit a financial affidavit demonstrating sufficient funds for tuition and living expenses, though this is not a deposit. Housing may require a separate deposit, usually $300–$500. Always verify current amounts on UIC’s official website or with the admissions office, as policies can change.
