Deferring your Admission
If you are a new freshman, transfer, or readmit student, you may inquire about a deferral of your enrollment for up to one year by writing to the associate director of admissions operations. The letter should include information regarding your plans during the interim period. You may also be required to submit additional academic information before a deferral is approved.

All deferral processes must be completed by the first day of classes of the term for which you were originally admitted. If you are requesting a deferral, do not attend orientation or register for classes. If you register for classes, you cannot defer your enrollment to a later term. You will need to withdraw and reapply for admission, and depending on your withdrawal date, you may be subject to tuition and fee charges.

Canceling your Admission
If you will not be attending CU-Boulder, it is very important that you check the cancellation box on your confirmation form and return it to the Office of Admissions.

If you decide not to enroll after you have confirmed, you must notify the admissions office in writing. Third-party (parent or counselor) requests cannot be accepted. Written appeals for refunds of the enrollment deposit will be considered in cases where there are extenuating circumstances. Send a detailed written letter that describes the extenuating circumstances to the associate director of admissions operations. Letters should be sent to the admissions office address at the bottom of this page.
