The process of updating a master's or PhD deferral date depends on if you are extending the deferral period or shortening it. 

How do I change a master's or PhD deferral date

Extending deferral period

Shortening deferral period

Email: phd@otago.ac.nz or: masters@otago.ac.nz (copy in your primary supervisor) with your name, student ID, and the reason for the change in deferral dates. Deferral can only be shortened to a minimum of one month. It may also mean you will need to enrol in a previous semester and you will incur fees for this.
