Defer enrollment at Pace University?

If I get accepted to Pace University, can I defer my enrollment for a year? I'm thinking about taking a gap year but want to secure my spot for the following year. What’s their policy like?

Pace University does allow students to defer their admission for up to one year. If you are considering deferring, you should note that deferrals are granted on an individual basis and students must provide a detailed plan for their gap year. The request for deferred admission should be submitted in writing to the Office of Undergraduate Admission as soon as a decision to defer has been made, and no later than May 1st.

Keep in mind, if your deferral is granted, your deposit is rolled over to the subsequent semester but financial aid and housing are not guaranteed and you will need to reapply for them. Be sure to check with their admissions office regarding the implications of deferment in relation to these items to ensure you fully understand the process.

Remember also that during your gap year, you must not enroll in a degree-granting program at another institution. This is a common condition across many institutions, not just at Pace. Be sure to adhere to the conditions of your deferral to avoid any complications when you're ready to start on campus.
