Loan Deferments

NLU automatically submits to the National Student Clearinghouse a report of student enrollment status. The Clearinghouse then supplies enrollment information to lending agencies. If your lender is not able to verify your enrollment and process your deferment through the Clearinghouse, please contact the Office of Admissions and Records for assistance. Please note that you must be registered and attending at least half-time in the current term to be eligible for deferment.
