Submit your deposit to secure your seat in Valpo’s incoming class.

There’s still time to choose Valpo! Submit your deposit by May 1 and celebrate being Valpo Bound!

Once you submit your deposit, you will receive information about FOCUS, Valparaiso University’s orientation and registration event for new students.

Missed the deadline?

Submit anyway, the Health Form and Proof of Immunizations. If this form is not complete within TWO weeks there will be a HOLD on your academic record. The hold will prevent you from accessing grades and registering for classes.
