  Deferrals
  You may request a deferral if you have accepted your offer of admission into a University of Guelph-Humber program but are unable to begin your studies for your entry semester. A fee applies.

  As an alternative, you may consider studying part-time by taking a reduced course load and enrolling in less than 2.00 credits (four courses). Before doing so, we recommend you contact:

  • Your Academic Advisor to understand the impact of course selection and course sequencing.
  • Student Financial Services to discuss the potential impact to the conditions of your scholarship, OSAP and other funding.
  • Visit the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada website to determine the impacts to your study/co-op permit and contact an International Student Advisor at the University of Guelph.

  To be considered for a deferral you must:

  • Accept your offer of admission by the deadline noted in your offer letter.
  • Meet all conditions outlined in your Offer of Admission by the deadline noted on your offer letter.
  • Submit the deferral application by the deadline.
