3341-3-80 Graduate Admissions – Deferrals

1. Policy Statement and Purpose

   This policy describes deferrals for admitted students.

2. Policy

   Applicants are admitted to the Graduate College for a specific term only. If an admitted applicant wishes to begin graduate coursework later than the admit term, the individual may request a deferral one time for up to twelve months. The deferral request should be submitted to the academic program, and if approved, forwarded to the Graduate College. An applicant who has received a deferral must update and/or verify all contact information prior to initial registration. Deferrals apply to admission status only; offers of scholarship and/or stipend support cannot be deferred, but students may be eligible for funding upon enrollment.

   Applicants who do not enroll in the admitted program for the admit term or who do not receive approval for a deferral will have their application cancelled. In order to be admitted to a subsequent term the applicant must submit a new application, including the application fee and any updated credentials.
