The initial deposit for Vancouver Island University (VIU) varies by student type. Domestic students typically pay a $250 deposit upon acceptance, which is applied toward tuition fees. International students must pay a $7,500 deposit, which also covers part of their tuition.
Both deposits are non-refundable unless the student meets specific exemption criteria, such as visa denial. Payment deadlines align with admission offer dates. Confirm exact amounts and deadlines via VIU’s official website or admissions office, as policies may update.
