If an applicant wishes to defer their offer to a future session they or their agent must advise SIBT in writing, outlining the reasons for their request.
Where an applicant is requesting a deferral on the grounds of the inability to gain a visa, the applicant must supply a letter from the Australian High Commission advising that the applicant has not been able to obtain a visa.
Where an applicant is requesting a deferral on the grounds of failing to meet entry requirements, documentary evidence must accompany the request. This may include evidence of failure to meet the required English levels through IELTS (or similar) test results, or high school results (or similar) in cases where the academic requirements have not been met.
Where a Deferral of Offer request is based on compassionate or compelling circumstances, documentary evidence must support the request.
