If you are considering a GAP YEAR. Here are some resource options for you. Please note:
- Gap years or deferrals are still as possible as ever for academically qualified, committed, first time freshman, in order to travel, work or intern, volunteer, complete military service or engage in other specialized training, or conduct research.
- Gap deferrals are not usually an option for students who are considering beginning post-high school academic coursework at a community college or other institution.
As with all other post secondary plans, please discuss your plan with your counselor. We want to be involved, and lend support for your plan.You may also find this guide helpful.
