Do you have the e-mail in your sent mail file? Probably that's enough if they really go after you.
I have the email, my professor (correctly) entered that I never attended the class, I was enrolled in another university (took a class at community college) and my advising meeting in June I said several times I had potential work conflicts. I should be in the clear.
The e-mail should be all that you need, but you might want to confirm the withdrawal procedure in the Student Handbook before following up with them. If you're good, then quote the procedure back to them when you forward the e-mail to them. You'll get a lot further with them if you come across as knowing what you're talking about... they get dozens of students every semester making dubious arguments about their unpaid tuition bill.
(Just FYI, I represent colleges in collection matters.)
I absolutely did not follow correct procedure is part of the problem...but admissions, in their reply, didn't offer any helpful information other than "your deposit is nonrefundable" (obviously, but I asked because hey, why not try and get $200 back)
