Accepted Students: What to Do Next

Paying Your Tuition Deposit

Submit your $500 tuition deposit immediately upon acceptance notification. If you wait to submit your deposit, Berklee cannot verify your plans to attend, and you risk losing your place in the class to another qualified applicant.

Once you pay your tuition deposit, you will receive information regarding your assigned email address as well as registration information.

Make sure that your $500 deposit is paid in full no later than:

  • Fall Semester: May 1
  • Summer Semester: April 1
  • Spring Semester: October 1

The $500 tuition deposit is not deducted from your tuition, but is a fee that assures your enrollment and remains on account with the college while you are an enrolled student. The deposit is returned to you upon graduation or official withdrawal from your studies at the college.

Acceptance Expiration

Your acceptance is dependent on successful completion of any outstanding schoolwork. Admission acceptances are only valid for three consecutive semesters. Should your plans change, you must submit a written request for a full refund or transfer to a later semester. Your refund or transfer request must be received by the college no later than:

  • Fall Semester: May 1
  • Summer Semester: April 1
  • Spring Semester: October 1
