Deferring Your Admission

Incoming undergraduate students may use this form to move their admission and scholarships to a new semester (deadlines apply). Students can only move their admission/scholarship(s) forward once per application. Students may move their admission and scholarship(s) for 1 to 5 semesters (not counting summer semesters) into the future. Students wanting to move their admission/scholarship(s) to the next semester may do so for any reason. However, students wanting to move their admission/scholarship(s) for more than one semester may do so for non-educational purposes only, and will void their admission/scholarship(s) if they enroll or attend classes at a regionally accredited college/university. Students who have their deferment request denied or voided are encouraged to re-apply for admission.

Due to current circumstances, incoming students currently admitted for the Summer or Fall 2021 semester (excluding those who have previously deferred their admission):

• Can defer their admission and scholarship(s) for any reason (deadlines apply), and can attend college elsewhere, up until the Fall 2022 semester.
• Can move their admission/scholarship(s) forward as many times as desired, up until the Fall 2022 semester and/or they enroll in classes at Boise State (deadlines apply).

Students who were admitted for Fall 2020 will need to reapply to the university if they are seeking to admission for Fall 2022.

Deferment requests will be reviewed in the order they are received and during high volume times may take two to three weeks to process.
