Deferring your Admission

If you are unable to begin your studies, you may be eligible to request a deferral of your offer of admission. Deferrals are not guaranteed and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Not all faculties/programs will accept a deferral of admission request.

In order to be considered for a deferral of admission, you must

have a final admission offer
accept your offer of admission
pay the non-refundable tuition deposit

To request a Deferral of Admission, contact the Student Service Centre by August 16, 2024. If your faculty/program will accept deferral requests, a form will be added to your Launchpad account. This form must be completed and submitted by August 22, 2024 if you have been admitted to an Augustana Faculty program or by September 1, 2024 for other programs.

If approved, the deferral of admission will also include a deferral of your residence offer (if applicable), though any scholarship offers will be cancelled.

For further information or to request the Deferral form, please contact the Student Service Centre.
