Is this way of using "with" OK???
I wrote these sentences below.
I would like to know if it is possible to defer the offer with a place for the next academic year at your program guaranteed.
About the deferral at Enrollment Decision section, it says “Please note all requests to begin in a different term are pending approval”.
Does this mean that I am not guaranteed a place?
In that case, when I know whether I can get the approval for the deferral?
In this context,
does the sentence below make sense?
I mean, do I use "with" correctly?
I would like to know if it is possible to defer the offer with a place for the next academic year at your program guaranteed.
I wanted to say that I want to defer the offer and also I don't want to lose my place for the next accademic year in a polite way...
Thank you in advance!

It seems to me that you do not want to 'defer the offer'. You want to accept the offer but defer your starting date. 'Defer .

Dear Clive,
Thanks a lot for your help and I really appreciate your suggestion!
But I'm a bit confused...
I thought that "defer" means to delay something until a later date, so I could say "defer my application" meaning that "I accept the offer and start my study in September 2014." Or I used "the offer" instead of "my application", then the meaning of the sentence became di
