Deferment: At Capital College of the Arts, Management and Technology, deferment, is when a student formally requests to delay or postpone their studies for a certain period (up to 3 months). This could be due to a variety of reasons such as health concerns, personal issues, or financial difficulties. The interruption may occur while the student is in good academic standing and NOT on academic probation due to academic misconduct or other disciplinary issues.
After the deferment period, the student is expected to resume their studies.
The student should consult with their Program Head and Office of Student Affairs regarding deferment application.
