Evangel University

Enrollment Deposit Refund

The fall semester cancellation deadline for new applicants is May 1, and the spring semester cancellation deadline for new students is December 1. Enrollment deposits are non-refundable after the cancellation deadlines but may be applied to the following semester or year by notifying the admissions counselor.

Deposits cannot be taken from future financial aid not yet applied to the student account.

Deposits will be held for the entire time the student attends Evangel University.

The deposit will secure enrollment each semester, whether on or off campus, and will allow resident students to reserve a room. When students graduate/leave Evangel, they must notify the Housing Office by the cancellation deadline in order to receive a deposit refund. Refunds will first be applied to any outstanding balance on the student account and any remaining amount will be refunded directly to the student.

The spring semester returning student cancellation deadline is the day the residence halls close for winter break.

*If returning students are unsure of their plans and need more time, they may be granted a 30-day extension on the May 1, deadline without financial penalty by simply notifying the Housing Office in writing or by email by May 1. They will then need to contact the Housing Office by May 15, with their final decision in order to be eligible for the full refund.

New students will receive an email with instructions for paying the enrollment deposit and completing the housing form after they are accepted to the University.
