prerequisite for admission to the University. When a student
applies for admission and is advised that he is admissible,
he will be required to make a deposit totaling $50 before
a stated date. If the deposit is made, the student will be
regarded as admitted. If no deposit is made, there will be
no formal admission.
The deposit will be credited to the fees normally charged
for the first quarter.
A withdrawal date will be included as a part of the procedure
with the deposit refundable if the University is notified
prior to a certain date.
