Why Should I Defer?

Deferred admission was created for students who need to delay their admission to a different semester than the one they were admitted for. Students defer for reasons including humanitarian or religious mission, military service, health, financial, and family responsibilities, just to name a few.

Deferring your admission offers several advantages including:

• Holding your scholarship
• Receiving priority registration upon returning
• Designating someone to register you for classes prior to your return

If you return later than the semester you designate, you may be required to reapply and pay an additional re-admission fee.
