    Thank you for your interest in UMass Lowell. Please carefully review your options and then complete this form to inform us of your request to defer.

    A student may request a deferment of enrollment up to one year beyond the date when the student was scheduled to enroll. If the one-year time period is exceeded, a student must submit a new application and application fee.

    By requesting a deferral, you agree to the following:

    • Students who defer their offer of admission & who elect to take courses at another two or four year institution must be re-evaluated based on the completed grades and coursework.
    • Students are responsible for communicating any updates to the admissions office to their application, including, but not limited to: educational history, disciplinary history, and biographical information, when requesting a deferral.
    • Nursing students cannot defer their acceptance, they will need to be re-evaluated.
    • Merit scholarships cannot be deferred to future terms. Students will be re-evaluated for merit scholarships based on their new semester of attendance.

    You can submit any questions via email before making your decision, we are always here to help.
