The University of Southern Maine (USM) does not require an initial deposit for undergraduate applicants. However, admitted students who choose to enroll must submit a $100 tuition deposit to secure their spot. This deposit is non-refundable after May 1 for fall enrollment or December 1 for spring enrollment.
Graduate programs may have varying deposit requirements, so applicants should check with their specific department. The deposit is typically applied toward the student’s first-semester tuition. Financial aid recipients or those with demonstrated need may request a deposit waiver through the admissions office.
