MSBS Deferment of Admissions

Deferment of Admissions

  1. In general, CHSU’s CBHP does not permit the deferment of admission offers. An offer of admission applies only to the specific academic year for which the applicant has applied. Applicants who are not able to attend the MSBS Program in the specific academic year to which they have applied and subsequently have been admitted, may need to reapply for admission. Consequently, a student who was admitted to one academic year may not necessarily be admitted in another academic year.
  2. Under certain circumstances, an applicant’s request for deferring admission may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Applicants seeking deferment must make such request following admission in writing to the Office of Admissions. Applicants may be required to submit relevant documentation supporting their deferment request. The Office of Admissions will make a recommendation regarding deferment to the Director of the MSBS program. Ultimately, these requests will be either granted or denied solely at the discretion of the Director of the MSBS program.
  3. Applicants who have been granted deferment will not need to re-apply to CHSU and will be permitted to attend CHSU in the semester to which their admission has been deferred. Deferred applicants must continue to meet all CHSU requirements during the entirety of the deferment period. Prior to enrollment, deferred applicants will need to comply with all admission criteria that was in place at the time they were initially offered admission into the MSBS program, and not the admission requirements that are in place at the time the applicant actually attends CHSU.
