Deferred Entry – Midwest TUS

TUS Midwest will consider requests from applicants who, having successfully gained a place, and for whom a change in circumstances means that they can no longer proceed with their studies in the current academic year.

Granting of a deferral is not guaranteed and is at the discretion of the university. Deferrals are conditional on the programme continuing in subsequent years. Once granted, a deferral is valid for one year only, and only for the course deferred. If for any reason the deferred course is discontinued, the applicant will not automatically be entitled to a place on any other course. TUS will not allow an applicant to hold more than one deferral.

On receipt of the CAO offer

• Do not accept the offer in the manner shown on the Offer Notice.
• Email immediately to the Admissions Office at TUS Midwest at admissions.midwest@tus.iesetting out the reason(s) for the request. (All communications about deferral must go to the Admissions Office and not to the CAO).
• The email must arrive in the Admissions Office at least two days before the ‘reply date’ shown on the offer notice. Please ensure that the subject line of the email is clearly marked with the word “deferral”.
• TUS will communicate its decision to the applicant.
• In order to take up the deferred place, the applicant must re-apply to the CAO by 1 February in the succeeding year, placing the deferred course as the first and ONLY preference.

The Student is required to contact the Admissions Office by email on or before 1 February in the succeeding year, confirming your intention to take up the deferred place. The student must email admissions.midwest@tus.ie with the new CAO application number.
