Application deferrals

Applications may be deferred to the following semester, one time only, at the discretion of the Admissions Office. 

To request an application deferral, you must first drop any registered courses and then contact the Admissions Office. In your request email, include your full name, student number, and an explanation of your extenuating circumstance. The deadline for application deferral requests is the day before the semester begins:

Additional documents are not normally required, but please note that deferred applications must be reviewed for a new admission decision. Refer to our processing times for more details. When you receive a new offer of admission, you should confirm the new offer in the admissions portal.

The information on this page pertains to the application for admission only. It is your responsibility to contact other university services/units about the impact of changing your semester of admission (e.g. on-campus residence, entrance scholarships, etc.).
