Most students typically follow through with enrollment after deciding where they want to go to college. But that isn’t the case for everyone. Unexpected life events might disrupt your plans, or you might decide to take a gap year before beginning your college career.

Whatever the reason, you might be wondering if you can change your college decision after accepting an offer. Even though it’s frowned upon to change your decision, under some circumstances it might be necessary. If you’re thinking about changing your decision, evaluate your options and work with your school to follow their process for making the change.
