Undergraduate Degrees

The New School allows students admitted to bachelor's and associate's degree programs to apply for a deferral. All deferral requests must be approved by the Office of Admission. Applicants must pay the $500 deposit in order to be eligible for consideration of deferral. Applicants approved for deferral will receive the same institutional awards offered upon admission. Admitted students to the fall term must submit their deferral request by August 15. Students admitted for the spring term must submit their deferral request by January 1. Students who are seeking a deferral for financial reasons are advised to speak with Student Financial Services before paying the $500 deposit.

Bachelor's-Master's Program Degrees

The New School permits undergraduate students admitted to graduate programs through the Bachelor's-Master's Program to postpone or defer beginning their graduate work for up to one year. All deferral requests must be approved by the director of Admission. Applicants approved for deferral will receive the same institutional awards offered upon admission. Students who cannot begin classes within one year from their semester of admission must file a new application.

Graduate Degrees

The New School allows students admitted to master's degrees and graduate certificate programs to apply for a deferral. All deferral requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and must be approved by the Office of Admission. Applicants who are approved for a deferral must pay the $500 deposit in order to finalize their deferral. Applicants approved for deferral will receive the same institutional awards offered upon admission. Students admitted students for the fall term must submit their deferral request by August 15.  The Office of Admission will begin reviewing requests in mid-May. We strongly encourage admitted students requesting to defer because of COVID-19-related concerns to wait until we have more information about the upcoming semester, in order to make a decision based on the most complete picture of fall.

Information About Deferring

• All deferral requests are subject to approval by the director of admission.
• Undergraduate students as well as current New School students who are admitted to the BA/MA program can request a deferral.
• Students seeking a deferral for financial reasons are advised to have a conversation with Student Financial Services before remitting the $500 enrollment deposit to save their place in the class for a future term.
• Transfer students admitted to Parsons School of Design should first check with an admission counselor to determine whether a one-semester deferral will affect the time they need to complete their degree.
• Deferral to spring entry is not available for Parsons Paris.
• Applicants approved for deferral will receive the same institutional awards that were offered upon admission.

Deferral Terms

• Students are not permitted to enroll as degree-seeking students at another college or university during the deferral period. Students who enroll in a gap year program in which college credit is earned or as non-degree students at another college or university must have the coursework pre-approved by the director of Admission if they wish to have the coursework considered for transfer.
• Students may not defer for more than one year. Special permission will be given to students for military service.
• Students may not enter the university at a higher level than the one at which they were admitted (e.g., as transfer students rather than first-year entering students). Students must submit a new application for admission at the appropriate level.
• Students who do not adhere to the terms of the deferral must submit new application materials, including an application and supporting documents, and forfeit the enrollment deposit.
• After approval, students will be prompted to confirm their intent to enroll. Students who do not confirm by May 1 for fall entry or December 1 for spring entry will forfeit their seat.

The New School reserves the right to withdraw an offer of admission up to the start of a student’s first term at the university. This may happen if an admitted, deposited, or enrolled student presents academic credentials with grades or coursework markedly different from those in the transcript or other supporting documents on which the original offer was based, or if a student engages in behavior that brings into question their honesty, maturity, academic integrity, or moral character.
