Congratulations!

We are thrilled to offer your child a place in the Class of 2027 or as a new transfer student. In the months ahead, we will show you what makes JCU such a special place through events on campus or in your hometown, conversations with your child's admission counselor, and even this website.

 

Complete the Reply to Offer of Admission Form and submit a deposit of $300 to confirm your child's place in the Class of 2027 or the spring 2023 transfer class.

You can do this in one of the following ways:

  • Online with payment by credit card. Your child will need to log in to their JCU Gateway account to electronically accept their offer of admission. Then you will be able to pay the $300 deposit online.
  • By mail with payment by check. Download a pdf of the Reply to Offer of Admission Form. Deposits sent by mail must be postmarked on or before May 1, 2023 for first-year students and on or before January 6, 2023 for transfer students.*

The enrollment deposit is $300* for all incoming students. For on-campus residents, $100 of this deposit serves as an advance payment on the first semester bill. The other $200 will be placed as a housing security deposit. For commuter students, the entire $300 deposit serves as an advance payment on your first semester bill.

*An enrollment deposit represents your child's intent to enroll at John Carroll for the fall semester. We expect that a student who has a deposit on account at John Carroll will attend. When students cancel their deposits, this may prevent other eligible students from choosing JCU and will impact our planning for the new semester courses and housing. As a result, the $300 deposit is not refundable after May 1 for first-year students. No exceptions are made to this rule. Although we are not able to grant extensions to these deadlines, we will accept enrollment deposits from admitted students after these dates on a space available basis.

The following represents a timeline of some important dates and steps to take in the enrollment process:
