Students must apply separately to each institution and must be admitted to each school separately. If accepted to both programs, a student is considered a joint degree candidate and may choose the timing and location of their program, in consultation with the two programs. Please visit the SAIS Joint Degree page for more information. Deferrals are granted only if an unforeseen circumstance arises that prevents you from attending SAIS for the semester in which you applied. Applicants should only apply for the semester in which they expect to attend.
Deferrals are valid for only one year.
You must petition to be granted a deferral. For more information on deferrals click here . No, you have to apply again for financial aid. Your award will not necessarily be the same. See the SAIS Reapplication page for more information.
