Four Corners 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 2024 classes, submit your $300 deposit within 2 weeks of receiving your decision letter to hold your spot in the Four Corners MSW Program.

  The deposit is non-refundable, but the full amount will be credited to your first tuition payment. 

  1. Accept Offer of Admission: To accept our offer of admission, visit your application status page. There, scroll to the “Forms” section and click the “Reply to Admission Offer” link to select “I ACCEPT your admission offer.”
  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.
• Tuition & Billing

  Tuition for each quarter is due the first day of that quarter. More information about tuition, fees and payment are available at the Bursar’s Office. 

• Financial Aid

  To apply for state or federal financial assistance, you must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form as soon as possible. This application is required to determine eligibility for grants, loans and student employment. 

  If you have questions regarding the FAFSA, Federal loans or the GradPLUS loan, please email finaid@du.edu.
