<p>Hello everyone~ I was just curious about something.
How difficult is it to disenroll from a college after paying the enrollment fee? For example, if someone changed his mind very late and decided that he did not want to attend the school that he enrolled in (what if he had gotten into the school thru ED or EA?)</p>
<p>I’m just wondering, because me and my friends were kind of debating about this.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>just give the school a call, or an email.</p>
<p>If you got in ED then you were suppose to pull out all other applications, therefore you couldn’t go to another school. EA school is no different than other RD school, you could change your mind to go to another school, especially if it’s a waitlist situation. If you should change your mind about enrolling in any school, you would lose your deposit.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies? What if, for ED, the guy decided that he wanted to take an off year or something instead of going to a different college?</p>
<p>replies.* Sorry, I didn’t mean to put the ? mark after replies.</p>

<p>many schools would be happy to hold your place for you for one year.</p>
<p>You could take a gap year, as long as you do not enroll at another school.</p>
<p>hmmm, so disenrolling from a school that you got accepted into thru ED is not allowed? Does acceptance into ED mandate enrollment or attendance? For a random hypothetical, wat would happen if someone got into ED but then decided to go straight to getting a job instead of going to college?</p>
<p>And is applying to another school after paying the enrollment fee not allowed? (not between the time of acceptance and enrollment) For example, many Asian colleges seem to have application dates that do not match up with American colleges and their ED/EA timelines.</p>
<p>bump 10 char?</p>
<p>Yes, you could withdraw from your ED school, as long as you do not enroll at another school the same year. The most you would lose is your deposit.</p>
<p>Hmmm. What if you decide to apply to and attend an oversees college instead, most likely after paying the enrollment fee?</p>
<p>Why don’t you call up the school and ask?</p>
<p>The ED contract is generally considered to be binding. In other words, if you don’t go to that school, and you don’t get a specific release from that school (usually due to them not being able to meet financial aid need), then you should be taking the year off and reapplying later.</p>
<p>Of course, every single year many students do go to a different (not ED) place. Most often this is a no-name public university that isn’t involved in the whole ED nonsense. These students do lose their deposits.</p>
<p>As to attending a foreign university, it would have to be an institution that doesn’t give a rip about the ED system in the US. I’ve read reports in other “Can I get out of ED” threads here about how Famous-International-University respected Famous-US-University’s ED policy and rescinded acceptances of US students who were trying to game the system.</p>
<p>Just about any college or university in the US will allow you to “defer enrollment” for one year. If you aren’t sure about your current choice of college/university, this may be your best option. How you use that year off is entirely up to you.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>

<p>Wait, I always thought that ED didn’t apply to international universities?</p>
