Deferment Information
Deferment request forms are generally sent directly to you from your lender. Section 1 is to be completed by you; section 2 will be complete by the Registrar's Office.
Deferment requests will not be issued before the start date of a semester.
Some deferments are processed through the National Student Loan Clearinghouse, a nonprofit industry-sponsored corporation representing schools, guarantors, lenders, and services for the sole purpose of standardizing, simplifying, and automating enrollment verifications and deferment processing. Penn College provides student enrollment verification data – including students names, Social Security numbers, and enrollment status – to the Clearinghouse on a regular basis. Release of this information to the Clearinghouse has been approved by the U.S. Department of Education and ruled to be in compliance with the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
