What exactly is an enrollment deposit?
An enrollment deposit is important for a couple reasons. First, it reserves your spot in the incoming class and helps us project for the right amount of housing and classes UNCP will need for the next year. Second, your deposit covers new student charges like the cost of New Student Orientation and the remaining portion is applied directly to your housing fees, if applicable.
What if I can’t pay it right now? CHOOSE "DEFER" TO RECEIVE THE SAME BENEFITS AS IF YOU HAD PAID UP FRONT!
That is no problem! You can defer your enrollment deposit if you are unable to pay right now or if you would like to wait for your financial aid to be awarded (if applicable). You will still receive all of the benefits of paying the deposit, but it will be applied to your first semester bill instead of being required right now. You can move forward in the enrollment process regardless whether you choose to pay the enrollment deposit now or defer it to later. Go ahead and register for New Student Orientation and apply for Housing, if applicable.
When should I submit my deposit?
Students are encouraged to submit (or defer) their enrollment deposit as soon as they feel prepared to do so.

Is my deposit refundable?
Your enrollment deposit is non-refundable. These funds are used immediately to provide programming important to new students and cover the costs associated with your New Student Orientation and Housing, if applicable.

If you want to make corrections of your own (for example, if you change your mind and want to live on campus instead of commute) just send an email to admissions@uncp.edu to let us know of the changes and we will take care of the rest!
4. Once you have made your enrollment type choice, go to the bottom and choose PAY or DEFER, then SUBMIT.
If you chose to DEFER, you have successfully completed the enrollment deposit process after clicking SUBMIT. The appropriate amount will be added to your student bill after you have registered for classes.
If you chose to PAY, you will need to scroll to the bottom of the page AGAIN and choose “PAY DEPOSIT” to be directed our secure payment site where you will complete the process.
