Students who are admitted to the University of Connecticut School of Law and wish to postpone their enrollment may request a one-year deferral. Deferral requests are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Deferrals extending beyond one year are granted only in exceptional circumstances, such as military service or serious illness, and require approval from the Assistant Dean of Admissions.

Terms and Conditions:

If approved, deferrals are conditioned on the following terms:

• Approved deferrals are granted for one academic year.
• If a deferral is approved, the student relinquishes their seat in the current entering class. Should plans change, the Law School cannot guarantee reinstatement or enrollment in the original entry term. Reinstatement to the class will be allowed as space permits.
• Any scholarship award offered for the original entry term will be forfeited upon approval of a deferral. Deferred students will be considered for scholarship eligibility once reactivated in the next admissions cycle. Scholarship awards are not guaranteed and may differ from any previous offer.
• Students granted a deferral agree to keep the Admissions Office informed of any new information that may be relevant to their application, including but not limited to:
  • Final academic transcripts
  • Character and Fitness disclosures or updates
  • Changes to contact information
• Students granted a deferral will be required to reconfirm their intent to enroll via the Reactivation Form by December 1^st.
• Deferrals are non-binding, however the $500 seat deposit is non-refundable.

To Request a Deferral:

To be considered for a deferral, admitted students must:

1. Submit the Deferral Request Form; and
2. Submit the full, non-refundable $500 seat deposit by the deadline listed in your acceptance letter.

Deferred applicants will be required to reconfirm their intent to enroll via a Reactivation Form by December 1^st.
