Deferral of Admission 

Students can request to defer their admission at any point after receiving an admission decision until the day prior to the first day of classes. Deferral requests are reviewed on a case by case basis and not all defer requests are granted. If a deferral is granted, a subsequent deferral cannot be requested. Deferrals are only granted within the same academic program. Submission of the deferral request form does not guarantee that your request will be approved. 

Rescinding an Offer of Admission 

Emory University expects all admitted and enrolled students to uphold the intellectual, ethical, and professional standards of the University. By accepting admission to the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, students agree to abide by the honor and conduct codes set forth (Refer to the Student Handbook). 

The Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing may rescind/revoke/cancel an offer of admission for, but not limited to, the following reasons: 

  • An admitted student is found to have presented misleading or fraudulent information during the application process (i.e., not disclosing all schools attended, not providing transcripts from previous academic institutions, failure to disclose previous misdemeanors or felonies, failure to disclose disciplinary actions from previous academic institutions, etc.) 

  • An admitted student fails to uphold the standards of conduct outlined in the honor and conduct codes referred to above. 

  • A student’s background check or drug screen does not meet the standards to be accepted into clinical settings. 

Once a student has legitimately enrolled in classes, all normal policies and procedures for enrolled students are followed. These policies and procedures can be found in the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing Catalog and/or Student Handbook(s). Enrolled students who have presented misleading or fraudulent information during the application process have not legitimately registered as enrolled, and their admission may be rescinded under this policy. All applicants acknowledge this policy when submitting their application and agreeing to the terms of the application. 

The decision to rescind an offer of admission is made jointly by the Dean, Associate Dean, and the academic program to which the student has been admitted. An appeal of a rescinded offer of admission is reviewed by the Dean of the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing. The Dean’s decision is final.
