Deferred Admission
A student who has been accepted to The American University of Rome but cannot enroll immediately may request a deferral. The deferral is formalized once the deferral deposit of 250 euros/dollars along with the tuition deposit (500 euros/dollars) for the indicated semester has been received. The non-refundable deferral deposit and the tuition deposit will be credited towards the first semester tuition. A deferral can be granted up to one academic year after which the student must re-apply for admission to the University.
