Postponing Loan Payments


You are responsible for repaying your student loans, even if you don’t graduate or can’t find work. If you are having trouble making your student loan payments you have options. Depending on your situation, you could apply for forbearance or seek a deferment.

If you qualify for forbearance, you will be granted a temporary hold on your student loan payments. With a deferment, you temporarily make only interest payments on your student loan.
