All deferments are based on when you borrowed your money. Pay close attention to the dates shown by each category. The date(s) you borrowed your money must fall within those dates. If there is no date, all Perkins Loans are eligible.
STUDENT DEFERMENT: There is no limit to the amount of student deferment you may have. All Perkins Loans are eligible for student deferment as long as you are enrolled as at least a half-time student. You must wait until classes start to have your form certified. Form certified prior to the start date of classes will be returned denied. A deferment form is on the bottom of each grace notice you receive, and each billing statement.
EXIT PAPERWORK: You are required to complete paperwork at the time you leave UNI. There are three forms – the Exit Questionnaire, the Final Truth-in-Lending/Repayment Schedule, and the Receipt confirmation form – that must be completed and returned to this office before any deferment will be applied. To be in compliance with federal regulations, we are required to have a signed copy of this information in your file.
OFFICIAL SEAL OR STAMP: We are required by regulation to have an official stamp or seal affixed to the form at the bottom right edge of the form. If your organization has no official stamp or seal, (a rubber stamp with the organization’s address will suffice) you must have your certifying official attach a letter on letterhead certifying your dates of participation.
Specific information on other deferments can be obtained from our office. Only student deferment information was included here because it is the most common deferent for UNI students.
Those applying for financial hardship or tempory disability deferments must obtain the required paperwork from our office.
