Deferment of Admissions: Deferment requests will be considered on a case by case basis. Deferments will be granted only if space is available in the requested semester. Students requesting to defer their date of admission must submit an Admissions Deferral Request Form along with a US $500 nonrefundable deferment fee to the Admissions Committee. If approved, the seat deposit and deferment fee will be credited toward the first semester's tuition. Students may only defer two semesters and only one deferment request will be honored. In the event the student is still unable to attend the deferred semester, s/he will forfeit their seat deposit and deferment fee and be required to reapply for admission.
