After accepting your Housing Offer a confirmation deposit of $600 is required to confirm you acceptance.
The confirmation deposit is refundable if you are not admitted to Mount Royal or when you move out (minus any outstanding cancellation fees or damage and cleaning charges). If you are already living in Residence and you have applied to live in Residence again for an upcoming term, the confirmation deposit carries forward.
