Loan Deferment
Your lender can tell you what your status must be to defer paying your student loan.
We provide enrollment information to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), which then shares it with its member lenders.
Your lender should request your enrollment information from NSC. Ensure your anticipated graduation date is updated in our records and that your lender knows you are a student at BYU.
You can also complete an in-school deferment form. Use the "Request Verification" button above and upload the form in your request. We will fill out Section 4 and return it to you so you can send it directly to your lender.
