1. Students requesting deferment must be recently admitted and have submitted a non-refundable Enrollment Deposit. If you have not already submitted your deposit, you can do so online through your
applicant portal, via check made payable to Suffolk University, or by contacting the admissions office at 617-573-8460.
2. Deferment may be requested for either one or two semesters. A deferral cannot be extended beyond one year.
3. All freshman and transfer students must submit any remaining final transcripts in order to complete their deferment.
4. Students who applied for freshman admission and plan to enroll in a post-graduate program or at another college or university are not eligible for deferment. Transfer students who plan to take additional college courses are also not eligible for deferment.
Please note that if you violate the terms of deferment you are no longer guaranteed re-acceptance and will be re-evaluated for admission. Students who initially apply as freshmen and decide to take college courses during deferment will be re-evaluated as a transfer applicant.
5. Students who do not qualify for deferment based on the above policies should refer to our
Re-Activation application or re-apply for admission using the Common Application (
www.commonapp.org) or the Suffolk University Online Application (
https://uga.suffolk.edu/apply/).
6. Students who have been conditionally accepted to the Suffolk University Advantage Program are not guaranteed deferment. These students will be re-evaluated on a case-by case basis and contacted by the admissions office.
