Your seat is safe, and your start date has moved. But a deferral comes with strict rules regarding refunds and future limits. Here is what you need to know.
You have successfully secured your spot for the upcoming intake. You should have received (or will shortly receive) a New Offer Letter. This document replaces your old one entirely.
Many students assume they can keep pushing their start date back indefinitely. This is false. Universities have strict caps on how long they will hold a spot for you.
Most universities allow a maximum of two deferrals (e.g., moving from Sept → Jan, and then Jan → May). After the second attempt, your offer is usually cancelled, and you must re-apply from scratch.
When you defer to a new academic year, tuition fees often increase. Your new Offer Letter will reflect the current pricing of the intake you are joining, not the price when you first applied.
This is the most important financial rule to understand. If you defer your intake and then decide to withdraw later, which refund policy applies?
Don't guess. Let's ensure your paperwork is perfect for the new intake.
