Complete the Reply to Offer of Admission Form and submit a deposit of $325 to confirm your child's place in the Class of 2029 or the spring 2025 transfer class.
You can do this in one of the following ways:
- Online with payment by credit card. Your child will need to log in to their myJCU Gateway portal to electronically accept their offer of admission. Then, you will be able to pay the $325 deposit online.
- By mail with payment by check. Download a pdf of the Reply to Offer of Admission Form. Deposits sent by mail must be postmarked on or before May 1, 2025, for first-year students and on or before January 6, 2025 for transfer students.*
The enrollment deposit is $325* for all incoming students, and covers the orientation fee that will be listed on your fall bill.
*An enrollment deposit represents your child's intent to enroll at John Carroll. We expect that a student who has a deposit on account at John Carroll will attend. When students cancel their deposits, this may prevent other eligible students from choosing JCU and will impact our planning for the new semester courses and housing. As a result, the $325 deposit is not refundable after May 1 for first-year students. No exceptions are made to this rule. Although we are not able to grant extensions to these deadlines, we will accept enrollment deposits from admitted students after these dates on a space available basis.
The following represents a timeline of some important dates and steps to take in the enrollment process:
