Deferral
What is a deferral?
A deferral is a university's agreement to move your admission to a later intake, usually the next one. Policies vary: some institutions grant it once as a matter of routine, others require a reason, and a scholarship attached to the original offer often does not carry over.

Who needs a deferral?
Applicants whose funding, documents or visa will not be ready in time for the intake they were admitted to.
Common mistakes
- Assuming the scholarship defers with the offer
- Requesting after the deposit deadline rather than before
