Deferral Requests

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will consider requests from admitted students to defer their enrollment until a future semester due to unexpected circumstances or unanticipated opportunities.

Requests to defer enrollment will be considered on an individual basis. We encourage you to carefully weigh all options before submitting an enrollment deposit and deferral request.

Steps to Request a Deferral:

1

Confirm Your Enrollment

You will need to confirm your enrollment and submit the $400 non-refundable deposit within your Terps Application Portal (TAP) account.
