Four Corners 2026 MSW Enrollment Guide

Tuition, Billing & Financial Aid

The next step in your GSSW educational journey is to accept the offer of admission and submit your tuition deposit, if you haven’t already.

• Tuition Deposit Instructions

  For the incoming Fall 2026 classes, submit your $300 deposit by April 15, 2026 of receiving your decision letter to hold your spot in the Four Corners Advanced-Standing MSW Program.

  2. Submit your Tuition Deposit: Once you have accepted your offer, you will have the opportunity to pay your tuition deposit by clicking the “Enrollment Deposit—Submit Payment” link that appears on your application status page. This link will take you to a webpage where you can pay your deposit with a credit card.
