Loan Deferment
Your lender can tell you what your status must be to defer paying your student loan.
We provide enrollment information to National Student Clearinghouse (NCH), who then shares this information to their member lenders. Some of these lenders include Utah Lenders/Banks, Sallie Mae, Zion’s Bank, UHEAA, and FedLoan Servicing.
Your lender should request your enrollment information from NCH. Make sure your anticipated graduation date is updated in our records and that your lender is aware you are a student at BYU.
