Tuition Deposit for F-1 Applicants A refundable tuition deposit equivalent to the cost for six credit hours charged at the current standard tuition rate is required from initial F-1 applicants entering their first semester with Keller. The tuition deposit is due after applicant’s F-1 visa has been approved by the U.S. Consulate or Embassy abroad and prior to the applicant’s entry into the United States. The tuition deposit will be applied to tuition charged for the student’s first semester. This tuition deposit will be refunded if the applicant subsequently cancels enrollment.
