Students intending to matriculate, who for personal or educational reasons, wish to defer entrance for one year, may do so with prior permission of the Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid. Our office recognizes the value of time off between high school and college, and encourages all admitted students to consider taking a year off to pursue an interest or passion. Requests for such deferrals should be sent to the Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid by July 1. Students whose requests are approved will not have to reapply or complete new admissions forms, but new financial aid forms are required (if applicable). Students who are granted deferrals may not initiate applications to any other colleges or universities. The Admissions Office reserves the right to review the activities undertaken in the interim and to rescind the offer of admission if the student’s academic or personal record does not remain satisfactory in all respects.
