Most individuals are in a higher tax bracket in their working years than during retirement. Deferring income until retirement may result in paying taxes on that income at a lower rate.

Deferment decisions are made on a case by case basis. Students must submit a request to the Director of Graduate Studies explaining why they would like to defer enrollment. The request will be evaluated and the student will be notified of the decision as quickly as possible.

Deferrals are rarely granted and usually only for very specific, often medical, reasons. If your intention is to apply and then request a deferral you should reconsider your decision.

When you re-apply, you may use the documents previously submitted, but it is wise to provide any new material which may be relevent.
