Request to Delay 

Medical students are required to sit for USMLE Step 2 no later than Aug. 31, and Step 1 no later Oct. 31 of their fourth year. 

This deadline has been established to allow for successful completion of these graduation requirements before certification for the Match. 

Delaying either Step 1 and/or Step 2 may jeopardize completion of the graduation requirements, it may result in a student needing to take a leave of absence and may have implications for residency opportunities. Delaying Step 1 and/or Step 2 may also have financial aid implications.

Complete and return this form to delay Step 1 and/or Step 2.
