International students are eligible to defer their admission or application one time for up to one academic year. Requests beyond this allotted time will require the student to re-apply with the application fee and certificates, diplomas, and transcripts.

For F/J Visa recipients: Deferral requests to a semester which is more than 6 months later than the current semester must include financial support documentation, which can include sponsor letters, bank statements and/or other forms of financial guarantee.
