Deferral request form
If you applied to any 2025 term (e.g. Winter 2025) via the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) and are looking to defer to any other 2025 term (e.g. Summer 2025 or Fall 2025) , you must amend your application through the OUAC.
This form is for UNDERGRADUATE applications and offers of admission only.
Requesting deferral of application or offer of admission:
- Deferral requests will be processed after final grades are received. Students will typically learn if their deferral has been approved by the end of October. Please monitor Carleton360 for information on your request.
- It is not possible to defer your admission if you are planning on attending another post-secondary institution.
- If you are a Carleton Student, (i.e. you have graded Carleton courses) please do not use this form. If you cannot attend for the term to which you were admitted, please re-apply through Carleton360.
- Scholarship eligibility and residence offers will be based on your final academic average according to the regulations in effect for the year of your new offer of admission.
