REQUEST TO DEFER GRADUATE DEGREE ADMISSION
Congratulations on your admission to The University of Vermont Graduate College! Although
you have been admitted, deferring your admission to another term does not guarantee future
admission or funding (if applicable). If you have chosen the option to defer, you must first
obtain permission from your program. The initial request must be submitted directly to the
office of Graduate Admissions, who will forward it to your program for review and approval.
NOTE:
This form should be used for degree applicants who have been admitted or admitted conditionally but
now wish to defer their
admission for up to one year.
It cannot be used for the following:
• Non-degree applicants
• Denied applicants
• Applicants who were cancelled due to their file never being completed
• Applicants who have already deferred their original application (Only one deferral per
application is permitted).
To process this form, please complete it and send it to Graduate.admissions@uvm.edu
. The
form will be sent to the Program for review/approval, and once a decision has been made a
Graduate Admissions representative will respond to your email.
