Deferring Application


Eligible Applicants for the Fall 2024 intake

Accepted Applicants receiving late Study Permit approval for the Fall 2024 intake might be eligible for a one-time opportunity to defer their application (not acceptance) to the next academic year for the same campus and the same program choice.

A deferred application does not require payment of a new application fee. The application will retain the same date/time stamp as the original application in the following year’s admission cycle.

Applicants who have paid more than their non-refundable $1500 confirmation deposit may be eligible to request a refund. Please see REFUNDS for details on eligibility and how to request the refund.

Applicants with a study permit refusal are not eligible for a deferral. 


Options for accepted applications with a late study permit approved after the August 11th deadline:
