The New School seeks to foster an environment that encourages all students to reach their highest level of achievement. Through various student services and programs, the university emphasizes the importance of recognizing and embracing individual student situations and abilities. Admitted students who require accommodations in order to be successful in their enrollment should not hesitate to get in touch with the following resources, depending on their unique situation:

• Office of Student Disability Services at [email protected]
• Office of Student Advocacy at [email protected] (Shondrika Merritt, Assistant Provost for Student Advocacy)

Deposited students who are eligible to apply for a deferral must complete the Deferral Request Form located in their Admission Hub.

The New School is unable to offer deferrals to: 

• Parsons School of Design master’s degree candidates
• Mannes School of Music Master of Music (MM) and Professional Studies Diploma (PDPL) in Orchestral Conducting program candidates
• New School for Social Research PhD candidates seeking to defer to future terms

In addition:

• Parsons Paris does not permit spring deferrals.
• Undergraduate Parsons School of Design transfer students’ eligibility for deferral will depend on their admitted year level and major.

Deferral Request Deadlines

• Students admitted to the spring term must submit their deferral request by January 15.
• Students admitted to the summer term must submit their deferral request by June 1.
• Students admitted to the fall term must submit their deferral request by August 1.

Students who have not yet submitted a tuition deposit and are seeking a deferral for financial reasons are advised to contact the Office of Financial Aid and should only submit their nonrefundable $500 tuition deposit after they have a better understanding of the cost of attendance. All deferral requests are subject to approval by the director of Admission, and students will be notified 10 to 15 business days after receipt of the Deferral Request Form.

Deferral Terms

• All deferral requests are subject to approval. The deferral will only be granted for up to one year from the start of the term admitted, with exceptions made for required military service. Students wishing to postpone their start for more than a year from their admit term must reapply.
• Deferrals are considered only for students who have submitted their non-refundable tuition deposit. The tuition deposit will be applied to the new start term. 
• Students are not permitted to enroll as degree-seeking students at another college or university during the time of their deferral.
• Students who choose to enroll in a gap year program in which college credit is earned or as non-degree students at another college or university are required to disclose this when requesting a deferral.
• Parsons and Parsons Paris students may not take college-level studio coursework that is not pre-approved by the Office of the Registrar. Students who enroll in one-year foundation programs abroad or other study will need to reapply as transfer students.
• Undergraduate non-degree credit-bearing coursework — including coursework taken as a part of a gap year program — completed during the deferral period must obtain pre-approval by the Office of the Registrar by submitting the Deferral Transfer Credit Request Form. All coursework requests are subject to approval by the Office of the University Registrar, and students will be notified 10 to 15 business days after submission of the Deferral Transfer Credit Request Form.
• Graduate non-degree coursework completed with grades of B or better during the deferment period will be evaluated for possible transfer credit by the department after enrollment. Consult with your academic department or program for more information.
• Applicants approved for deferral will receive the same merit-based institutional awards offered upon admission. Need-based financial aid for undergraduate students is reassessed on a yearly basis following the submission of the FAFSA.
• If the deferral request is approved, the student’s newschool.edu email address will be deactivated and the current application withdrawn. Students will be prompted to confirm their intent to enroll before the start of the new enrollment term. Students who do not confirm their intent to enroll by the deadline stated in the offer of admission may forfeit their seat.
• Students who do not adhere to the terms of the deferral and wish to enroll must submit new application materials, including an application and supporting documents, and forfeit the enrollment deposit.

If you're still deciding on your college plans, please contact Admission. We're available to answer any questions you have about The New School.

We understand that plans can change. If you need to cancel your admission application, please alert our teams at [email protected].

The New School reserves the right to withdraw an offer of admission up to the start of a student’s first term at the university. This may happen if an admitted, deposited, or enrolled student presents academic credentials with grades or coursework markedly different from those in the transcript or other supporting documents on which the original offer was based, or if a student engages in behavior that brings into question their honesty, maturity, academic integrity, or moral character.
