Admitted Student Procedures
Admitted students must confirm their intention to attend Richmond by returning the Confirmation Agreement Form and must submit a non-refundable and non-transferable confirmation deposit, which will become the security deposit. This deposit is due on May 1 for the Fall semester and Summer Sessions and December 1 for the Spring semester. Late deposits will be accepted on a space available basis. A confirmation letter, which can be used to apply for a student visa, is sent upon receipt of the confirmation deposit and form.
Students desiring to live in university accommodation must submit the Housing Application Form and pay a non-refundable and non-transferable housing deposit. The deposit will be held on account for the duration of my housing lease. The form and deposit are due on May 1 for the Fall semester and December 1 for the Spring semester. Late deposits will be accepted on a space available basis. It is advisable to submit both the confirmation and housing deposits at the same time.
