Candidates admitted to any program may request admission deferment to a subsequent term. The request will be granted if the candidate’s record merits the deferment and the candidate notifies the Graduate Services Office at least two weeks prior to the candidate’s initial registration date. Candidates may be given a deferment of up to four quarters (including summer) beyond that for which they were originally accepted. Otherwise, they must formally reapply. Deferments are granted at the discretion of the Graduate Services Office. The candidate must meet the requirements of the curriculum in effect at the time of first enrollment, not that of the admitted quarter.
