- Deferral Policy
  
  Undergraduate
  Undergraduate students who have submitted their deposit and are eligible to apply for a deferral must complete the online Deferral Request Form, located in their Admission Hub. Paper forms will not be accepted.
  Parsons Paris does not permit spring deferrals. Undergraduate Parsons School of Design transfer students’ eligibility for deferral will depend on their admitted year level and major.
  Students who have not yet submitted a tuition deposit and are seeking a deferral for financial reasons are advised to contact the Office of Financial Aid and should only submit their nonrefundable $500 tuition deposit after they have a better understanding of the cost of attendance. All deferral requests are subject to approval by the director of Admission, and students will be notified 10 to 15 business days after receipt of the Deferral Request Form.
  Undergraduate Deferral Request Deadlines
  Students admitted to the spring term must submit their deferral request by January 15.
  Students admitted to the summer term must submit their deferral request by June 1.
  Students admitted to the fall term must submit their deferral request by August 1.
  Students who have not yet submitted a tuition deposit and are seeking a deferral for financial reasons are advised to contact the Office of Financial Aid and should only submit their nonrefundable $500 tuition deposit after they have a better understanding of the cost of attendance. All deferral requests are subject to approval by the director of Admission, and students will be notified 10 to 15 business days after receipt of the Deferral Request Form.
  Graduate
  Although deferrals for students admitted to a graduate program are rarely granted, those admitted to a degree program can request a deferral by submitting a Deferral Request Form. This request must be made by the enrollment response deadline indicated in the student’s admission letter.
  In the rare instance that a deferral is granted, the student will be required to submit the standard non-refundable $500 tuition deposit. This will be credited to the student’s account and applied toward the first term tuition bill.
  Graduate Deferral Request Deadlines
  Students must submit the deferral request by the enrollment response deadline indicated in the admission letter.
  Deferral Terms
  All deferral requests are subject to approval. The deferral will only be granted for up to one year from the start of the term admitted, with exceptions made for required military service. Students wishing to postpone their start for more than a year from their admit term must reapply.
  Undergraduate deferral requests are considered only for students who have submitted their non-refundable tuition deposit. The tuition deposit will be applied to the new term.
  Undergraduate students are not permitted to enroll as degree-seeking students or non-degree-seeking students at another college or university during the period of their deferral. Undergraduate students who enroll in any college-level coursework for credit during their deferral period will invalidate their deferral and will be required to reapply to The New School as a transfer student. This includes students who choose to enroll in a gap year program where college credit is earned.
  Graduate students with approved deferrals are not permitted to enroll as degree-seeking graduate students at another college or university during the time of their deferral. The transfer of graduate-level course credit completed through non-degree study is subject to the transfer policy of the respective graduate program or school. Students with deferrals should consult with their program before enrolling in non-degree courses elsewhere.
  Admitted students approved for deferral will receive the same merit-based institutional awards offered upon admission. Need-based financial aid for undergraduate students is reassessed on a yearly basis following the submission of the FAFSA. The $500 nonrefundable tuition deposit will be applied to the start term.
  If an undergraduate deferral request is approved, the deferral status will be immediately updated to indicate withdrawal from the current term and will reflect the new enrollment term. The student's New School email address will be deactivated until the new term.
  Students with deferrals who do not enroll for their intended new semester must reapply. The $500 tuition deposit is non-refundable.
  If a graduate deferral request is approved, the student’s New School email address will be deactivated and the current application withdrawn. Students will be prompted to confirm their intent to enroll before the start of the new enrollment term. Students who do not confirm their intent to enroll by the deadline stated in the offer of admission may forfeit their seat.
  Students who do not adhere to the terms of the deferral and wish to enroll must submit new application materials, including an application and supporting documents, and forfeit the enrollment deposit.
- Decline Your Admission
  
  If you're still deciding on your college plans, please contact Admission. We're available to answer any questions you have about The New School.
  We understand that plans can change. If you need to cancel your admission application, please alert our teams at [email protected].
- Disciplinary Withdrawal of Admission Policy
  
  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.
