Enrollment and Housing Deposits Due June 1
Salem State’s enrollment deposit priority deadline has moved to June 1 (originally May 1) to accommodate 2024-25 FAFSA delays.
We accept deposits continuously until programs reach capacity. For those experiencing financial challenges and wishing to defer their enrollment deposit, an application to defer the enrollment deposit is below.
We strongly encourage bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) program-admitted students to deposit early. We will accept enrollment deposits until program spaces are full. Due to high demand, securing your place sooner ensures your spot in our highly sought-after program.
