Do universities require a deposit payment before admission and is it part of the tuition fees?

Yes, most universities require a non-refundable deposit payment before confirming your admission. This deposit secures your place and is typically credited toward your total tuition fees when you enroll.
If you choose not to enroll, the deposit is usually non-refundable. Deposit amounts and policies can vary by university, but the deposit is generally deducted from your tuition fee once you register.
