In certain circumstances a student may wish to defer a year of his or her multi-year fellowship. This is not allowed, unless the deferral stems from the student’s need to do research or language training away from the Columbia campus, in which case the research is often supported by an outside award. All deferrals of GSAS fellowships require the permission of the department and GSAS. Students must take the final year of GSAS fellowship no later than the seventh year of registration.
