To be eligible for a deferment, the student borrower must be enrolled full time in an undergraduate or graduate degree program at an eligible Title IV school.
The student borrower must complete and sign an in-school deferment request (alternative/private and federal deferment forms may be accepted) and submit proof of enrollment with a semester start date and an anticipated graduation date.
Servicer may obtain the information from the National Student Loan Clearinghouse. Student borrowers are eligible for up to 36 months of deferment as long as they verify enrollment in the program by completing and signing a deferment form. Interest will continue to accrue during periods of deferment.
