A student can defer an approval to return by one term. For example, if a student is approved to return in the fall term and they decide to return in the winter term instead, they can defer their return by one term. The student must email their undergraduate dean with this request. A return cannot be deferred for a second term. At that point, the student must rescind their return. This is also done via email to the undergraduate dean requesting their return be rescinded. Students who have rescinded their return must resubmit the necessary paperwork to return, adhering to the deadline for the term in which they wish to return. If you do not check-in for the term in which you have been returned and have not let the college know you are deferring or rescinding, the college will rescind your return.
