If you are considering a gap year, we encourage you to evaluate your options. If you do decide to take a year off, select the defer option on the Admitted Students Reply Form. If you have already accepted your offer of admission, but would like to change your decision to defer, submit the Request to Defer form on the Admitted Students Website as soon as possible, and in any event by the end of June.

Contact the Harvard College Admissions Office with any questions.
