<p>Just know that there is no need to ever give a deposit to Point Park before May 1. That is your right. There is no advantage to giving the deposit. Your child’s spot will be held until May 1 without a deposit. Imagine if every school wanted a deposit prior to May 1. A parent would be tying up a lot of money. Further, the school is encouraging a student to break the rules and to deposit at more than one school which is not right and ties up spots that they may not be taking. Please know your rights to not send a deposit until May 1, at which time a family should deposit at one school only. The college cannot take your child’s spot away until after May 1. The school is making you think you need a deposit to secure your child’s spot but this isn’t so.</p>
