Deferral Policy

The Law Admissions committee considers requests for deferral on a case-by-case basis.

Admitted students who wish to defer their enrollment should submit a written request to the Law Admissions office outlining the reasons for the request.

Should the committee grant the request, a seat will be reserved for the student in the entering class for the following academic year, provided the student:

• Pays the non-refundable $150 seat deposit by April 1, or other agreed upon time, of this year;
   
• Contacts the Admissions office by January 15 of the following year to confirm intent to enroll that fall;
   
• Confirms that nothing has taken place in the interim year related to character and fitness that would disqualify the student from entering the practice of law; and
   
• Pays the $250 commitment deposit by June 15 of the following year.
