May a student be admitted for one term but defer enrollment until a subsequent term?</p>
<pre><code>UCB
Generally, admitted students may not defer enrollment. However, the Colleges of Letters and Science, Engineering, Natural Resources and Environmental Design may offer spring admission to several hundred applicants whom the University was unable to accommodate for the fall semester. Most of these spaces are in the College of Letters and Science. In addition, students with special circumstances may write to the Director of Admissions (110 Sproul Hall #5800, Berkeley, CA 94720-5800) to defer admission to a later term; such requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
UCD
The Deferred Enrollment Program allows newly admitted undergraduate students to postpone initial enrollment for up to one year. The purpose is to allow time to pursue activities and opportunities that will help students clarify their educational goals; however, students are not allowed to enroll at another college during this time. To be eligible for deferred enrollment, students must return the affirmative Statement of Intent to Register with the deposit by the deadline, and must satisfy all admission and entrance requirements. For more information, or to receive an application, contact Undergraduate Admissions at (530) 752-3710.

The student will have to file a new admission application for the deferred term.

UC Santa Cruz does not automatically grant requests for delayed enrollment. Students who are interested in deferring enrollment must write a letter of appeal to the Associate Director of Admissions (150 Hahn Student Services, Santa Cruz, CA 95064) explaining their circumstances. Unless the appeal is granted, the applicant should request that all existing application materials be retained, and file a new application for the desired quarter. In the event that the request for delayed enrollment crosses academic years, a new application must be filed for consideration.
