If you are attending an eligible school on at least a half-time status you may qualify for in-School deferment*. There are two ways to notify Direct Loans of your enrollment information.

*A student is eligible for loan deferment if they are seeking a degree and are registered in 6 credits as an undergraduate or 5 credits as a graduate student. Terms of Repeat Coursework apply.
