Can you defer admission as a transfer at Boston College?

Does Boston College allow incoming transfer students to defer their admission? If so, what is the process to request a deferral, and are there any conditions or deadlines?

11 months ago

Boston College does permit incoming transfer students to request a deferral of admission, but this is not guaranteed and is considered on a case-by-case basis. The process for deferral involves submitting a formal request in writing to the Office of Undergraduate Admission. You should include your reasons for requesting the deferral and your proposed plans during your deferred period.

In terms of conditions, a few things might apply. Generally, Boston College expects those who defer to not enroll in a degree-granting program at another institution during their gap period. The college may request a deposit to reserve your spot for the next year.

Each case is different, and receiving approval will depend on the reasons given for the deferral and the discretion of the admissions office. Similarly, deadlines to request deferral can change and are usually specific to each academic year. Thus, you'll want to check with the admissions office for the most current details.

To sum it up, yes, it's possible to defer your admission as a transfer student at Boston College, but the specifics (such as conditions and deadlines) can evolve and are personalized to each student's situation, so you'll want to consult directly with the school for the most accurate details.
