Carleton states it is not an additional expense but a prepayment of part of the tuition fee. It is not refundable unless the study permit is refused before the start of the term named in the offer, and Carleton requires proof of the refusal in advance of that term. The deposit must be paid before Carleton will issue the provincial attestation letter (PAL) needed for the study permit application; the PAL appears in Carleton360 roughly 7-10 business days after the deposit is received.
