University deposit amounts vary by country and university.

- USA: Typically $100 - $500. For example, Arizona State University charges $300; Cornerstone University charges $200.
- Australia: Generally higher, often between AUD$10,000 - $17,000. For instance, University of Melbourne requires a minimum AUD$17,000 deposit.

These deposits are usually credited toward your tuition but are often non-refundable if you do not attend. Deposit amounts and refund policies are subject to change by each university.
