University of Delaware says this on their website:
" Deferrals are typically approved for those accepted and deposited students who are undertaking a service-oriented and/or educationally purposeful gap year or semester or who have medical situations/ilnesses or military obligations. To initiate a deferral process, you will need to access the deferral form, complete all required fields, and supply any additional documentation that may be requested. Documentation will likely be a doctor’s letter, military orders with dates of deployment, or an acceptance letter to a gap year/semester program. Should you have any questions, please reach out to Scott Grzenda. In the subject line, place “Request a Deferral” and in the body please include your name and UD ID # (starts with 70) and the reason for the deferral. The $500 Admissions deposit is required in order to defer."
UMass Amherst says this at this website:
" On a limited, case-by-case basis, the University of Massachusetts Amherst will consider deferring admission decisions for students for documented significant extenuating circumstances, such as being called to active military duty or religious obligations. If you are not one of the few students granted a limited deferral, and are unable to attend at this time, but wish to enroll for a future term, you will need to file a new application and meet all requirements and deadlines for that term. Please see our deferral policy for more information."
At University of Vermont at Reapplying to the University as an Undergraduate | University of Vermont Catalogue, it says:
“Under certain conditions, candidates offered admission who choose not to attend in a given semester can defer entry for up to two semesters with permission of the admissions office (students offered Winter Cat admission are not eligible to defer). Students who defer admission are required to pay the acceptance fee for the semester to which they applied (an additional fee may be required) and may not enroll in another degree program at another college or university. Students who wish to defer admission for more than two semesters from the term of the original application will be asked to reapply for admission. After that period, or if the admitted candidate failed to request deferred admission, another application and fee must be filed for review by the admissions office.”
And at University of Connecticut says the following at Admitted Student Checklist – Undergraduate Admissions
" Gap Year and Deferment Requests
We understand that admission is not a one-size-fits-all process and that there are reasons first-year students may need to delay the start of their UConn education up to a year from the admission term. Whether it be to pursue a unique travel opportunity, to serve in the military or public service, or due to chronic illness, submit the Gap Year/Deferment Request Form found in your applicant portal and share your plan with us. Submission of the non-refundable enrollment fee is required by May 1 to secure your seat. Students may not enroll at another institution, professional certification program, or participate in a post-graduate year at a secondary school during the gap year/deferment period.
*Note: Early Decision and transfer students are not eligible for a gap year/deferment. If you’re a transfer student seeking to defer admission, please contact One Stop Student Services at onestop@uconn.edu."
