Pay Your Graduate Enrollment Deposit
Reserve Your Spot!
Effective Fall 2023 Term, to accept your offer of graduate admission to the University of Michigan-Dearborn, you will need to submit a non-refundable $250 Enrollment Deposit. This deposit is credited to your student account and applied toward your first term’s bill. Fully-funded PhD admits and current UM-Dearborn undergraduate students admitted into a 4+1/Accelerated Masters program are exempted. If you are a newly admitted bachelor's degree student (FTIAC/Transfer), please follow these instructions.
Most graduate programs* do not have a deposit deadline but you are encouraged to keep the registration timetable in mind. You will not be able to register for courses or apply for an I-20 (relevant to international students attending on a student visa) until the enrollment deposit has been paid. College of Business students requiring a math course as a condition of admission will need to pay the deposit prior to requesting a voucher for the math placement exam.
*The Psychology (MS) program requires acceptance of the offer and deposit within two weeks of receiving an offer of admission.
Once the deposit is paid, an automated process releases your registration hold the following day for credit card and ACH payments. Flywire payments may take a few more days to post. If you need a more timely release, please contact the Office of Graduate Studies.
