As the number of military deferment spots are limited, the process of receiving military deferment is competitive. Only applicants who submit complete applications, including proof of English language proficiency (either through the TOEFL iBT or IELTS exams) and proof of math proficiency (either through the AUA e-Math Test or SAT exams), will be considered for AUA’s military deferment.
In choosing recipients, the Undergraduate Military Deferment Committee, appointed by the Provost, factors in officially reported entrance exam scores at a weight of 75% and academic grades at a weight of 25%. Full weights per program are as follows:
