Loan Deferments
Enrollment verification is provided through the Office of Financial Aid
for deferring loan repayment. Students desiring a loan deferment should
contact our office and submit a Loan
Deferment Request Form. Deferment requests are then forwarded to an
industry sponsored consortium known as the National
Student Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse provides NYU enrollment
certification to the lender, guarantor, or loan servicers as requested by
the student. Any change in enrollment status is automatically updated via
the Clearinghouse each semester the student is in attendance, and throughout
the semesters as enrollment changes.
Students should consult with their lender, guarantee agency, or
servicer to determine if a Loan Deferment Request Form is required for
each semester or if a single request form is sufficient for the duration
of the student's in-school enrollment.
Students seeking to defer their loan payments for reasons other than
in-school deferment (i.e. economic hardship) should contact their lender,
guarantee agency, or servicer to learn about alternative options.
