Paying your confirmation deposit
The confirmation deposit is a non-refundable deposit to confirm your acceptance that will be applied against your tuition fees upon registration in courses in the applied semester.

The confirmation deposits mentioned above do not apply to the Faculty of Medicine who manages their own deposit process.
Bachelor of Technology or Bachelor of Maritime Studies applicants will continue to pay an admission fee, and not a tuition deposit, through the Marine Institute.
The confirmation deposit must be paid through your My Account page in the admissions portal; under the Decision History tab, select Respond Now. If the deposit is paid by any other method, it will not show in the admissions portal and you will not be able to accept your offer.
Take note:
- Where applicable, a confirmation deposit deadline will be outlined in your acceptance letter. If no deadline is indicated, you are recommended to pay the confirmation deposit as early as possible, once you are ready to confirm your offer. International applicants are required to pay the confirmation deposit to qualify for a provincial attestation letter (PAL).
- The confirmation and deposit must occur at the same time. If you confirm your admissions offer without paying the deposit in the admissions portal, your confirmation will not be processed. You will still need to confirm and pay the deposit.
- If you pay the confirmation deposit and are subsequently offered admission to another undergraduate program in the same semester, please contact admissions@mun.ca if you wish to have your deposit moved to the new program.
When you submit your confirmation deposit, you will receive a receipt with the transaction details sent to the email associated with your application account.
The confirmation deposit will be held in your student account until there is a tuition charge for the semester of admission (after you register for courses). It will then be deducted from your tuition amount owing. If you drop your courses or do not enroll in the semester in which you are admitted, the confirmation deposit will be forfeited and deducted from any applicable tuition refund. Applicants with an approved deferral request will have their confirmation deposit moved forward to the next semester.
Refund of deposit
International applicants who are denied a student visa by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), or who do not meet the final criteria for verified acceptance to Memorial University, will be eligible for a refund of the confirmation deposit paid, less a $150 administrative fee. Applicants should contact the Cashier’s Office with proof of the visa or admission denial to request a refund.
Requests for a refund of the confirmation deposit due to extenuating circumstances (other than those noted above) may be made in writing to the Tuition Refund Appeals Committee.
