Q. What is the difference between a tuition deposit and an application fee?

A. The $100 tuition deposit is separate from the $100 PMBA application fee. Your tuition deposit is applied to your student account and will be used as a payment toward your tuition cost this semester. The $100 application fee is paid directly to the university for the processing of your PMBA program application. It is completely separate and is not related to tuition.
