Is it possible to defer enrollment after I have been admitted to Brown?

If you are a first-year applicant and have accepted Brown’s offer of admission, or have applied via Brown's [Veteran Application](https://admission.brown.edu/veterans), you may request a deferral in writing by emailing [admission@brown.edu](mailto:admission@brown.edu). Students admitted from our waiting list are not eligible for deferrals. All requests for deferrals should be made by May 15.

I'm thinking of taking a "gap" year. When should I apply and when should I let you know of my intentions?

May I take a gap year(s) for mandatory military service?
