I got into Humber College, but I might not be able to start this semester. Has anyone gone through the deferral process there? How does it work, and will it affect my scholarship opportunities or housing arrangements?
Deferring admission at colleges typically involves a formal request to the Admissions Office. While I don't have specific information about Humber College's process, it's common that you would need to write a letter stating your reasons for wanting to defer. In many cases, institutions appreciate when you clearly state your plans during the deferral time and how they will contribute to your educational journey.
As for your scholarship opportunities or housing arrangements, it's a policy that can vary greatly between institutions. Some scholarships may be held for you until you start, while others might require reapplication. Similarly, some colleges guarantee housing after deferment, but not all.
I advise you to reach out directly to Humber College's Admissions and Financial Aid Offices, as well as their housing department. They can provide the most accurate and up-to-date information suited to your case. It’s better to get this information from the official source to avoid any miscommunication or misunderstandings. My advice is to act as soon as possible, as these processes often have deadlines that you should adhere to. Best of luck to you!
