Loan Deferment

For Graduate Students

  • The Hajim School and the School of Arts and Sciences report through the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). If your lender works with the NSC, your loans will be deferred automatically.
  • If your lender does not work with the NSC, you must print or request enrollment verification from the Registrar’s website.

For Postdoctoral Appointees

  • Obtain an official form from your lender(s) and submit to the Office for Graduate Education and Postdoctoral Affairs in Lattimore 206 or via email at ASEGEPA@rochester.edu. Processing time for loan deferment request forms is generally within three to five business days.
