Does a Student who Deferred an Acceptance Need to Provide Grades from Study Abroad?

Applying to College
1

My daughter was admitted to and accepted a top 10/20 school and chose to defer to attend a University program in another country, taught in English. The school is well known internationally.

She was admitted regular decision and her admission was not contingent on doing a Gap Year. Her high school transcript is fine. Will the school ask for a college transcript from her gap year program? In the request to defer she had to specify what she was doing. She is not planning to request credit because of one class and from what I understand you cannot just send part of a transcript. Can you?

She is taking finals now and is afraid that she may fail a class (: It is not remotely related to her intended major. Her other classes are all solid, even high As and a B.

Will the admissions office at the US school ask for a transcript if she is already admitted?

If her overall average even with the F is over a B, would she be rescinded? Her grades have always been excellent, she finished high school strong and her other classes are great. This one teacher is a problem. I know the no Ds and Fs rule as an indicator of immaturity but this is not what is going on.

I can obviously call the school and ask but this is not the red flag I want to raise before knowing what the usual procedure is. Has anyone not sent grades from a Gap year, were you asked to if it was not a condition of admission.

I am also on a gap year and according to my understanding from US universities - they approve gap years only if you promise to not enroll in another university/receive credits during the gap year. Your daughter’s case could be a special one. if the university appoved the gap year school - you really have to call the school and find out because if you didn’t tell them at the beginning that your daughter would be recieving credits during the gap year they could revoke her acceptance

They approved it in advance but it was with a letter, her portal is treating her as though she is Class of 2020 from the beginning. Also if she had simply changed her mind and decided to teach English in Europe they would have been fine with that too. Most gap year programs are ok if you are not matriculating in the school abroad and are in a discrete program only intended to last a year… However, a few like Barnard do not allow any coursework.
