  Undergraduate Degrees

  The New School allows admitted students to bachelor's and associate's degree programs to apply for a deferral. All deferral requests must be approved by the Office of Admission. Applicants must pay the $500 deposit in order to be eligible for consideration of deferral. Applicants approved for deferral will receive the same institutional awards offered upon admission. Admitted students to the fall term must submit their deferral request by September 15. Admitted students to the spring term must submit their deferral request by February 1. Students who are seeking a deferral due to financial reasons are recommended to first have a conversation with Student Financial Services before paying the $500 deposit.

  Bachelor's-Master's Program Degrees

  The New School permits undergraduate students admitted to graduate programs through the Bachelor's-Master's Program to postpone or defer beginning their graduate work for up to one year. All deferral requests must be approved by the director of Admission. Applicants approved for deferral will receive the same institutional awards offered upon admission. Students who cannot begin classes within one year from their semester of admission must file a new application.

  Graduate Degrees

  Deferrals are not offered in the graduate programs at The New School. If you wish to be considered for a future term, we will gladly hold your application for reconsideration to the same program. Fall applicants must contact the Office of Admission to request reconsideration by September 15; spring applicants must make this request by February 1. We will only reconsider files for students who were admitted during the previous two terms, and you must specify for which upcoming term you would like to be reconsidered. Please note that admission is not guaranteed and scholarship offers are subject to change if admission from the reconsidered application is granted. Students applying to Parsons and schools within the College of Performing Arts will need to resubmit a portfolio or an audition, respectively.
