Many universities do allow students to defer admission to a later intake, but the policy varies by institution. Refund policies also differ significantly. Some universities may refund part of the tuition deposit, while others may deduct administrative charges or make the deposit non-refundable after certain deadlines. You should always carefully review the university’s refund and deferral policies before paying fees.
