Deferred Admission

Life experience outside of an academic environment and prior to continuing ones formalized learning at the collegiate level can be stimulating and beneficial. For this reason, Springfield College will consider, on an individual basis, requests for deferment of acceptance for one academic year. Due to the selective nature of the admissions process, however, it cannot be guaranteed in every situation. Consideration for such deferment is given until May 1 for a plan of activity for broadening the experience and general education of the individual. Enrollment in another institution, other than for language study in a foreign country, is not allowed. The College expects at least one report during the year from any student so deferred. Arrangements for these reports are to be made at the time of considering the request.

If the deferment is granted, the acceptance is extended to the following September only. The $200 nonrefundable deposit is due no later than May 1 of the year preceding enrollment.
