Purpose
and Context: | Life's path sometimes takes unexpected turns, causing students to pause their studies abruptly or necessitating more time than initially planned to complete their program. To address these situations, the option to defer program access for up to 3 months. In cases where students must interrupt their studies due to health-related issues and are unable to notify ICA in advance, they have the opportunity to request a retrospective deferment of up to 3 months. This consideration is contingent upon a case-by-case assessment and necessitates submission of pertinent supporting documentation. |
