Alfred University understands that some students may benefit by postponing entrance for a year. To defer admission:
- Follow the application procedures for regular admission, including paying the enrollment deposit.
- Notify the Office of Admissions by August 1 of the intention to delay entering the University for the upcoming spring semester or the following fall semester.
Should the one year deferment period lapse without written notification, the $300 deposit will automatically be forfeited. A deferral student who enrolls at another college sacrifices the deposit and relinquishes their place in the first year class. Such students may reapply as transfer students and, if accepted, will have the previous deposit applied toward first semester tuition charges.
