Catalog Addendum

On March 20, 2026, the Deferred Enrollment page was modified to add the following statement: Any student who requests to defer must declare the term they wish to defer to, and it must be within 1 year of the initial term of acceptance. All deferrals are subject to pending seat availability in future terms. If an accepted student needs to defer a second time or enrolls in a separate degree-seeking program during the deferral period, they will be asked to reapply with updated transcripts to their desired term. Any merit-based scholarship and / or conditions of acceptance remain active during the deferral period. 

On March 23, the Deferred Enrollment page was modified to add the following statement: For students accepted into the Master of Clinical Mental Health Counseling or Master of Science in Addictions Counseling, Johnson & Wales University offers a one semester deferred enrollment for students who have applied, have been accepted, and deposited but, for various reasons, wish to postpone their graduate enrollment.
