Change of Term / Deferral Requests

If you need to change the term to which you applied, or if you cannot begin in the term to which you have been admitted, you must request a change of application or admission term using the Deferral Form.

Applications are valid for one year and can be deferred up to one year. Applications pending after one year without a deferral request will be withdrawn, and all materials are subject to destruction as noted in the Graduate Catalog.

Students must begin graduate study in the term for which they are admitted. If this is not possible, you may request a deferral from your academic program prior to the start of the term of entry. If that deferral extends beyond a year from your initial application, you must reapply, pay the reapplication fee, and be readmitted. Please note that assistantship offers may not defer. Failure to request a deferment will result in cancellation of your admission.
