Post-Active Duty Service Deferment

Members of the National Guard or other reserve components of the Armed Forces (including retired members) called to active duty while enrolled at a post-secondary institution may defer federal student loan repayment.

After completion of your active duty service (which must include a period on or after 10/1/07) and use of any applicable grace period, deferment may be granted for up to 13 months or until you resume enrollment on at least a half-time basis.

Complete a Post-Active Duty Service Deferment application and return it to the holder of your loan.

Contact your loan holder with questions about the deferment request or other repayment options.
