Deferral Request Form

Important Instructions:

Admission to the University of San Diego is offered for a specific program and a specific semester of entry. If you are unable to start your program in the term for which you were accepted, you may request a deferral to the next available term, subject to the approval of your program.

Steps for requesting a deferral to the next term:

1. Confirm your acceptance by making your admission deposit
2. Create your USD student account (also called “claiming” your account)
3. Submit the form below, indicating your intention to enroll in the next available term.

Things to know about requesting a deferral:

1. You will be contacted by a member of our team at the email you provide below in advance of the registration period for the next term.
2. If you are still unable to begin your program, you may request another deferral. You will be allowed no more than three deferral requests before your acceptance is cancelled, as your acceptance is only valid for one year.
3. If you do not enroll as expected and you do not submit an updated deferral request, your acceptance will be cancelled. Should you decide to return at a later date you will need to re-apply.
