Accepted students may request to defer their acceptance for one semester or two consecutive semesters (one year). To request a deferral, accepted students must put their requests for deferral in writing and send it to the Office of Admissions through the post or by email at admissions@naropa.edu. After the first day of classes, new students may no longer defer.Each request for deferral is reviewed by the Admissions Committee and is accepted or denied on a case-by-case basis. Reasons for an acceptance of deferral would include traveling, service/volunteer work, family situations, financial situations, or personal timing.If an accepted student’s deferral request is denied, the student may not reapply for admission at another time.If a student’s deferral is approved, their accepted status will be applied to the future entry term. If the student has already paid the admissions deposit of $250, it will be forfeited (nonrefundable). During this deferral time, the student may not attend another college.Toward the end of their deferral time (one semester or two consecutive semesters), students will be contacted by their admissions counselor to determine if the student is interested in applying again for the following semester. If so, the Admissions Committee will once again review the student’s application, and then will let the student know of the admissions decision. While in many cases deferred students are accepted again, this is not guaranteed.
