Deferring your programme

What is a programme deferral.

A Programme Deferral is a request from a newly admitted student to delay their start date to a future semester/year without making a new application for admission. 

Please note:

• There is no guarantee that the same decision (i.e. an offer or conditional offer) will be made to your deferred application. This is because admission requirements and availablity of programmes, as well as core courses, vary between academic years and semesters.
• If you are currently active in a programme, but wish to take a break from your study for a semester, please see Defer enrolment to next semester or quarter . 

Who can request a deferral?

If you have submitted a pending application, or have received an offer for a programme (before the start of the programme), you can request a Programme Deferral.

You can log in to your Application to Study (ATS) and click the 'defer application' option that shows by your current applications. This will allow you to select a future term. A new application will then be added, and the current one will be withdrawn. 

To log in to your Application to Study, visit Continue your application .

What will happen to my course enrolment(s)?

If you are enrolled in any courses, these will need to be deleted along with your programme before the start of the semester. This is not an automated process, so please follow the steps below to action your deferral. 

How to request and action a deferral

If you are a new student with an existing application(s) and are unable to start studying, even when you have not received or accepted an offer:

• Before the start of the semester - You can use the defer option in your Application to Study up until your programme start date. You will then be directed to Student Services Online (SSO) . From there, you can delete your enrolments/withdraw via self-service. You are welcome to submit a new application for a future semester. For further information, please see Request to defer a firm or conditional offer . 
• Drop any current course enrolments - see Drop or swap a course .
• Delete your programme - see Programme deletion .
• Submit a new application for a future intake - see Apply now .
