Procedures Home
In general the Electrical Engineering Department is unable to entertain requests for deferment of admissions into its Graduate Program. Exceptions are allowed in the following situations and require the approval of the Vice-Chair of Graduate Affairs:
Request for admission deferment due to visa and medical problems. Upon documentation of such problems and recommendation by the faculty advisor. Deferment of admission up to three academic quarters may be allowed.
Request for admission deferment by newly admitted students into the MS or PhD programs due to pressing special circumstances. Upon proper justification and recommendation by the faculty advisor. Deferment of admission up to three academic quarters may be allowed.
In case of such deferment, the academic clock for various deadlines starts from the quarter that the student actually joins the program. However, the Department will in general not be able to delay the timeframe of any Fellowship or Teaching Assistantships awarded at the time of admissions, and the student will lose such award for the Quarters through which the admission is deferred. This will adversely affect the amount of Department support shown on the I-20 form.
