Welcome to the family

Case Western Reserve University is excited to count you among the high-achieving students admitted to our community of bright and engaging undergraduates.

 

Ready to make it official? That's great!

 

The fastest (and easiest) way to accept your offer of admission and make your nonrefundable $500 tuition deposit is by logging in to your applicant portal. If this deposit presents an undue financial burden for your family, please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admission to determine if you qualify for a waiver.
