Got in & put Intent to Register @ UC Berkeley but Can't Go Anymore

I got accepted into Cal for the Spring of 2017 however due to a family tragedy, I have decided to take back my intent to register and possibly reapply next time. Has anyone ever taken back their acceptance?

Do you still need to pay the initial fee ($100)?

If anyone has been in this situation before please let me know and what the process was for you.

Please and thank you!

Can you defer till the fall? I’d ask.

If you can defer, then you don’t need to reapply.
