Deferred Admission

Several conditions apply for deferral and these will be communicated to you once the University receives your official request. The University is only able to approve a limited number of admissions deferral requests in any given term. You must pay your confirmation deposit before you may request an admission deferral.
If you have accepted your offer of admission and registered for courses and now want to defer your admission, you must drop all courses via Minerva by the above deadlines and before submitting a deferral request. If the University grants your request for deferral, your registration deposit will be transferred to the deferred term.
If you do not request a deferral by the above deadlines, you will have to reapply for the next available admission term. If you are a registered student and you withdraw after the deadline, you must request readmission through your faculty. For more details, see Readmission.
Note for Music: Applicants to the Schulich School of Music are not eligible to apply for deferred admission.
Note for Law: The Faculty of Law does not normally accept requests for deferred entry.

Once the offer of admission has been accepted, you must submit, in writing, a request for the deferral. The request should be addressed to the Assistant Dean (Admissions and Recruitment) and should set out the reason(s) for the request. You are encouraged to submit your request as early as possible in consideration of other candidates.
