You’re ready to BE A LUTE - we’re ready to celebrate with you!
Once you’ve submitted your enrollment deposit, you’re joining the incoming PLU class to become a member of a community of fellow seekers, trailblazers, creators and reformers who are unafraid to do things unconventionally to leave the world a better place.

Click on the ‘View Your Decision Letter’ button just under ‘Your Application Status: Decided’.

“I’m a Lute” Scholarship: First-Year and Transfer students (admitted for a fall start) who submit their enrollment deposit by April 1, 2026 will receive a one-time $200 “I’m a Lute Scholarship” for the 2026-2027 academic year!
Paying the $200 enrollment deposit confirms your spot in the entering class, secures your housing assignment (if living on-campus), and allows you to request your class registration appointment and complete other enrollment steps.
Once you have submitted your enrollment deposit, we’ll send you an email that includes a link to apply for housing, as well as important next steps in your PLU enrollment process.
The last day to pay your enrollment deposit for fall semester is August 3. For a spring semester start, the last day is January 9.
Enrollment Deposit Refund Policy: The purpose of our enrollment deposit is to secure your spot in the incoming class. Enrollment deposit refunds are processed only as part of the formal application withdrawal process.
- For a fall semester deposit refund, you must withdraw your fall application and decline your admission to PLU by May 1.
- For a spring semester deposit refund, you must withdraw your spring application and decline your admission to PLU by January 1.
