<p>I live in IL and have applied to several colleges for transfer.
Because of my family issues, I am going to have to be absent from school for about a year.
Am I allowed to take a year off and still have the acceptance valid for the year after?
I applied for the fall 2006 transfer, and would like to start school from fall 2007 or if I can, spring 2006. Is this possible generally?</p>
<p>Some schools let you defer for either a semester or a year after you're accepted - I'd say call and ask.</p>

<p>Advice above is right. We on CC can only speculate what may be available to you. Contact the school you were planning to attend and work one on one with your school explaining all of the circumstances. They will be able to help you find the best path.</p>
