Can I defer my study abroad admission?

Yes, many universities allow students to defer their study abroad admission, typically for one semester or a full academic year. The process and eligibility depend on the institution’s policies. You must formally request a deferral, often providing a valid reason, such as medical issues, financial constraints, or personal circumstances.

Contact the admissions office promptly to understand specific requirements. Some universities may require additional documentation or a deposit to hold your spot. Note that scholarships or financial aid may not always be deferred, so clarify these details beforehand. Always review the deferral terms to avoid forfeiting your admission.
