Gap Year
Admitted first-year students are eligible for deferred enrollment (for one academic year). Transfer students are not eligible for deferred enrollment. Students taking a Post Grad year are not a part of the gap/deferring enrollment process. If you are planning to take a Post Grad year, you will need to re-apply for the term you plan on entering College of Charleston. The deadline to request a deferral is May 15th, 2024.
If you plan on deferring your enrollment, do not do the following:
- Do not submit your enrollment deposit. Enrollment deposits are non-refundable and non-transferrable. If you submit an enrollment deposit and then decide to defer your enrollment, you will need to submit another enrollment deposit for the following school year.
- If you have already submitted an enrollment deposit, do not sign up for Housing. You will be subjected to cancellation fees. Learn more on cancellation fees by visiting our Housing website.
