<p>Hey there. I was accepted to UCSB and sent in my SIR, believing I would be going there. But due to some severe issues that arose, I will have to stay close to my home and might not be able to go to SB for the first year. Is there any way I can defer the first year of school at Santa Barbara, go to a CC, and then return to UCSB as a sophomore?</p>
<p>My friend was the first to be allowed a deferral at UCD and it was only because she’s continuing her education on a 5th year of high school in Bolivia. It’s apparently extremely hard to get a deferral from a UC. You have to call the admissions office and discuss your situation with them, but you might have to go to a CC for a couple of years then transfer in. If that’s the case then a lot of UCs have TAG agreements including UCD, UCSD, and UCSB. I hope you get one! Good luck!</p>

Call admissions, but I doubt you can do this. The UC schools don’t allow deferrals except in rare circumstances; you should inquire to see if the situation you face allows this.</p>
<p>Hey Mikemac, do you mind explaining how you quote people like you did right now? It would be helpful and much appreciated.</p>

<p>To the OP, here is a link from UCSB saying pretty much what you’ve been told: [UCSB</a> Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucsb.edu/faq.asp?subsection=27]UCSB”>http://www.admissions.ucsb.edu/faq.asp?subsection=27)</p>
