Deferment Requests
Newhouse reviews requests for deferment on a case by case basis. If you would like to request a deferment, please submit a brief statement indicating your specific reasons for deferment to us at pcgrad@syr.edu. Include "Request for Deferment" in your subject line.
If approved, you will only be allowed to defer your admission once, and for one year. Any merit aid offered to you for this year will be forfeited and you will be reconsidered for merit aid next year. We will send you a letter explaining the terms of deferment and any deadlines you need to be aware of. Advance deposits paid for 2009 will automatically be applied to 2010 should you defer. All deferment requests must be made prior to May 1, 2009.
