<p>or would you have to reapply the next year?</p>
<p>Nope, you can defer your enrollment. There are a handful of students who do so every year.</p>
<p>Hoedown, can you elaborate on this issue. Can any student defer enrollment or must a student have a legitimate hardship or unique circumstance?</p>

<p>According to "Ask Us":</p>
<p>"Deferred admission is only offered to admitted freshmen who wish to delay their enrollment at the U-M because of personal needs or interests outside of college or university level academic course work."</p>
<p>Valid reasons for requesting an admission deferment would include (but not be limited to):</p>
<pre><code>* military or public service
* unique travel or work opportunity
* illness substantiated by a doctor's written confirmation
* cultural enrichment opportunity
