What is the cut-off for deferring for a year

Student is committed and put down a deposit to ED1 school but may need to take a gap year, mostly for wellness.

What is the cut off for that? School says they need to describe their plans in the postponement request. Any do’s or don’ts for requesting a year deferral?

The cutoff is whatever the school says it is…so have your student contact (call) admissions and ask. I would seek guidance from them on exactly what they need to grant a deferral…some schools are generous, some aren’t, and you need direction from admissions to understand the correct approach.
