We are allowed to defer one semester. I had applied to 2 local CC's that are a part of the same system. At one, I also had to defer for 2 semesters due to financial and personal obligations (I would've graduated this past May had I been able to enroll

).
At the other CC, I had to defer one semester for the same reasons....I accepted last fall's enrollment and haven't looked back. I'm a pretty big believer that most things happen for a reason -- "fate" -- and I wish you well once you are able to begin your nursing journey!!
