VCU Undergraduate Admissions

For accepted students

What's next?

What if I decide I do not want to attend VCU during the semester I have been accepted? Can I attend the university during another semester?

Students who have been admitted to the university, but wish to postpone their enrollment can request to have their application rereviewed for admission consideration for a later semester. Students who postpone their enrollment to another semester should bear in mind that acceptance to the university in a later semester is not guaranteed.

Students who wish to postpone their enrollment to another semester should complete the Response Form located inside of the Handbook for Accepted Students or online at www.ugrad.vcu.edu/pdfs/responseform.pdf indicating their desire to have their application reconsidered for another semester and return it to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

Students who choose to postpone their enrollment are required to submit an application reactivation form and may be asked to submit additional documentation.

Students may reactivate their application for up to one year from the date of their original application by contacting their application processor in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. To determine who the appropriate application processor is and to obtain contact information, visit the Web at www.ugrad.vcu.edu/processor.html.

While there is not an application fee required for reactivating an application, students who elect to be reconsidered for admission to VCU for a later semester forfeit their initial tuition deposit and if accepted to the university will be required to submit a second deposit for the semester in which they choose to enroll.
