Deferring Enrollment

If you are admitted, you may defer enrollment for one or two years by putting in a formal written request to the Dean of Admissions. Common reasons for deferment include employment, travel and military or religious service. Please note that you may not defer enrollment at MIT in order to enroll in courses at another college or university; taking such a step would cause you to forfeit your admission to MIT.
