deferred admission
Gap year acceptance
Deferred admission is an arrangement where an accepted applicant delays enrollment, typically for a year.
A student might request deferred admission to travel, work, or take a gap year: She got deferred admission to start college the following fall.
Universities grant it at their discretion, usually requiring a formal request and sometimes a deposit to hold the spot.
