Deposit FAQs
Q: Why do I need to pay the deposit?
A: The deposit allows SOU to effectively plan for class offerings and student resources in preparation for the next term. It also provides an incentive for students to commit to SOU as soon as possible. The earlier the deposit is paid, the more options a student will have for housing choices, registration dates, and class availability.
Q: Is the deposit refundable?
A:
The deposit is non-refundable.
