Course Deferral

Pace ELI Visa Deferral Policy

  • Students applying to study with an F1 Visa who defer their start date may do so a maximum of 2 times with no additional cost or penalty.
  • For each additional deferral, the student must pay a $65.00 Deferral Fee
  • Students who defer due to a visa refusal will not have to pay the $65.00 Deferral Fee if they submit valid proof of visa refusal or denial.

Explanation

If you're an F1 student planning to start your studies with Pace ELI but need to defer your program, you can postpone your start date twice without any extra charges. However, if you defer more than twice, there will be a $65.00 Deferral Fee for each additional deferral. If your reason for deferring is a visa refusal or denial, you won't need to pay the $65.00 Deferral Fee if you provide valid proof of the visa refusal/denial.
