deferred admission

Deferred admission is when a college or university agrees to hold your spot for future enrollment, allowing you to start your studies later than the usual application cycle. This might be granted for personal, health, or other reasons. Essentially, you apply and get accepted now, but you choose to delay beginning classes to a later semester or year. It provides flexibility, giving you time to address your circumstances while securing your place in the program. Keep in mind, you typically need to request deferral and meet any specific requirements set by the institution.
