Enrolling at Dean for Fall 2025

Students accepted for Fall/September enrollment are asked to submit their deposit by May 1, 2025. (Please note: this deposit is non-refundable.) The enrollment deposit will hold your place in the entering class ($500 for resident students/$250 for commuters).

We believe that Dean is a good fit for you, but before making your final decision, we encourage you to learn a little more about us. Check out a few easy steps below to make your enrollment at Dean a reality.

Financial Aid

Applying for Aid

Complete this FAFSA form to be considered for financial aid. The majority of our students receive some form of financial assistance and even if you think you won't qualify, submitting the FAFSA may make you eligible for an award from Dean's institutional funds. The 2025-2026 FAFSA Form is expected to be available soon - please check back for updates.

Questions?

Whether you need a hand with the FASFA, or have questions about your financial aid package or out of pocket costs, we're here to help! Schedule an appointment with one of our student financial planning counselor today.
