Once a month (around the 20th of each month) and at the beginning of each term (after the add/drop period.) If a student has registered late or has had an exception processed to the term registration, this information may not be reported until the submission of the next report. (If you are only completing a grade as a guest in a class or completing an “in-progress” course this would not count toward your enrollment status.)

**Please note that National Louis University cannot certify enrollment until after the add/drop period for the term in which you are enrolled. Only current and past enrollment can be verified.

You can easily submit your completed form electronically below or you can submit the deferment form to our office via email to deferments@nl.edu.

Forms will be completed after the add/drop period (which is after the first week of classes.) Forms will be returned as requested.

National Louis University participates in the National Student Loan Clearinghouse (NSLC). All FFELP/Direct Loan forms that are received at the university for currently enrolled students are forwarded to the NSLC. Once a month (around the 20th of each month) and at the beginning of each term (after the add/drop period) the University submits to the Clearinghouse a report of all students’ enrollment status. In turn, the Clearinghouse supplies enrollment information to lending agencies. National Louis University will no longer be sending this information directly to the lenders.

A student must be registered and attending at least half-time in the current term to be eligible for deferment. If a student drops below half-time status, the lender may consider the student withdrawn until he or she once again reaches half-time status. You must be registered and attending for 3-6 semester hours as a Graduate student or 6-12 quarter hours as an Undergraduate student to be considered enrolled. This is non-negotiable. Consolidated loans may not be eligible for deferment. A student should discuss deferment options with his or her lending agency.

If you drop below half-time status, your status may be shown by the National Student Loan Clearinghouse as Withdrawn until such time you again achieve half-time status.

Please note: If there is more than 30 days between your last term end date and next term start date, you may appear Withdrawn until the start of the next class. In these cases, you may request an Early Verification Request to the Registrar's Office to provide to your lender. This request is located on this page for your convenience. Please see above: "Request Early Verification."
