Special Case Admissions Responses

Admitted Accelerated Master's students cannot respond to our offer online.

You will receive instructions from one of our admissions counselors with next steps.

Applicants who cannot enroll in the term for which admission was offered may request to have their admission deferred for up to one year. Students who request a deferral, and who are not currently active in another degree program, are responsible for dropping any courses they may be currently enrolled in at the time they request the deferral. Such requests must be in writing and will be considered only once. Because enrollments are limited and competition for admission may vary from year to year, such requests may not be granted. Applicants who have received approved deferment of their admission cannot register for graduate coursework at the University during the period of deferment.

If you wish to defer your application, login to your application portal and select the Request to Defer Application button under Quick Links. The Graduate Admissions Office will receive your request and update your record accordingly.

International Applicants who require a visa to study in the United States should accept their offer of admission and will then receive further instruction on how to acquire immigration paperwork from the Office of International Students and Scholars.
