Student Loan Deferment

Information

Student Loan Deferment offers a way to temporarily postpone loan repayments while back in school (enrolled in at least 6 credits), in the military, experiencing financial hardship or in certain other situations. If enrolled in an eligible college or career school at least half-time (6 credits), in most cases the loan will be placed into a deferment automatically.
