Frequently Asked Questions

What is the $10 registration fee? How many times do I have to pay it?

A nonrefundable $10 registration fee is required for each person on a new registration form. One person registering for multiple activities owes $10. The fee for two siblings registered on one form is $20. This fee is used for many expenses, including the cost of background checks required by the university for employees who work with children

What is the purpose of the $10 deposit charged with the online registration form?

When you sign up using the online form, a $10 deposit is charged to your credit card. The purpose of the deposit is so we can collect your credit card information for payment while not charging the full amount of your order. Your order will be charged in full once the registration has been confirmed by our office and based on the payment plan you select. The $10 deposit is not an additional charge, and will be deducted from the total you pay.
