Freshmen
Receiving an offer of admission to the university is only the first step. To reserve your space in the freshman class, students must submit the confirmation deposit and required housing contract no later than May 1.

All admitted first-time freshmen wishing to reserve a seat in the freshman class must submit the following:

• a $200 non-refundable enrollment confirmation deposit

• a $235 housing application fee & security deposit ($200 of which is refundable up to May 1) 

Students are encouraged to submit their deposits as soon as they are certain of GCSU as their college choice, especially since room assignments and roommate preferences are based on date priority.

Additional deposit information and the Confirmation of Enrollment form will arrive with the acceptance package. Any students admitted after May 1 must submit the confirmation deposit and housing materials within two weeks of receiving an offer of admission.

Any student canceling a housing contract after May 1 will forfeit the housing security deposit.

Submitting a Confirmation Deposit Confirmation deposits may be submitted by check, credit card or money order, along with the Confirmation of Attendance for New Freshmen form from the students acceptance package. Credit card payments may be submitted online through the GCSU Student Account Center which can be accessed through myCATS.
