DU admission process for gap year students?

I'm considering taking a gap year before attending college, and I'm interested in the University of Denver (DU). Does anyone know how DU handles admissions for students who have taken a gap year?

The University of Denver (DU) welcomes students who have taken a gap year! To apply, you'll still follow their normal admissions process. This means you'd need to submit the Common App or the Pioneer App, your transcripts, and an essay. There are no additional requirements solely because you took a gap year.

Keep in mind that DU recommends you apply before you begin your gap year as if you were going straight to college, and then defer your admission. This way, you'll have a guaranteed spot when you're ready to start.

To defer your admission, you'll have to submit the Admission Response Form and deposit by May 1, and then submit the Deferment Request Form by June 1. You can defer your admission for up to two academic years. This means you could take your gap year(s) without worrying about reapplying.

I'd recommend contacting DU's Admissions office to ensure this information is still current and to learn more about their process. It's always a good idea to directly contact the university for the most accurate guidance.
