Domestic Students
The Sydney Institute of Higher Education may permit an applicant to defer admission provided that the offer of admission has not lapsed or been withdrawn due to the applicant’s actions prior or subsequent to the offer being made.
The Sydney Institute of Higher Education may grant deferred admission to domestic applicants for either one (1) year or one (1) term, from the time the offer is applicable. Where a course is not available for deferment, this will be clearly advised at the time of application for admission and on the offer letter.
The Dean may extend the period of deferral for an individual applicant to a maximum of two years.
International Students
International Students who have been issued an offer of enrolment to a program but have not yet accepted that offer (and thus no CoE has been raised), may request to defer commencement to a later study period. International students who have accepted their offer and a CoE has been raised may not defer their commencement of study, except with the permission of the Dean as outlined in the Procedures for Monitoring Program Progress of International Students.
Procedures governing the application for deferral by eligible students are outlined in the Procedures for Monitoring Program Progress of International Students.
