Loan Deferment

Students with prior educational loans may choose to defer loan payments while enrolled at Suffolk University Law School. To defer your loans, contact your current lenders or loan servicer to confirm how they process deferments. If your lender participates in the National Student Loan Clearinghouse, your loan deferment should occur automatically, as Suffolk transmits enrollment records directly to the Clearinghouse. However, if your lender does not participate in the Clearinghouse, you will need to submit a paper deferment form from your lender or loan servicer to the University Registrar’s Office for manual processing. After the semester begins, all certified paper deferment forms are forwarded to the National Student Loan Clearinghouse for enrollment to be manually confirmed. You should continue to make loan payments until you are notified by your lender that the deferment has been approved. Students using the manual process should note they may need to complete new paper deferment forms each semester.
