Deferring after having accepted your place?

marti8

Does anyone know whether you can defer for a year if you have already accepted your place @ UCC as a mature student (but haven't actually started your course or registered)? I think I read somewhere before that if you wanted to defer you shouldn't accept your CAO offer in the first place but what if something has come up after you've accepted your place and you can't go ahead with it? How accommodating might UCC be? Or would they just say: tough luck, pal! Thanks.

Yes you can defer til next year and will need to contact the Admissions office.

If I am offered a place in UCC, is it possible to defer for a year? EU Students who have been offered a place in University College Cork may be permitted, on application to the Admissions Officer, to defer entry to the University for one year. Applicants for Medicine and Dentistry are not permitted to defer, except under exceptional circumstances.

Thanks for that, December!

Hi.
Just wondering, did you get the deferral?? I am in the same boat this year and I'm afraid I won't get the deferral.

Dude, the above posts are from like three years ago. But if you are in the same boat ring admissions tomorrow and ask them. It might be more complicated if you have already accepted the offer you got but they will be able to tell you for certain if it is possible.

I know it's from 3yrs ago but people still reply. I was just wondering if it had worked out for them. Have been onto admissions already haven't heard anything yet! Thanks
