Financial Aid Deferment
Contact your lender or finance counselor to obtain a student loan deferment request form.
You are responsible for:
- Filling out the top portion of the form
- Signing and dating the form
- Providing lender's address
- Indicating if the loan is consolidated
- Mailing or faxing form to the Office of Student Records, fax 602-383-2210
Allow approximately 48 hours for processing. If you are a new student, you must be in attendance for 3 weeks before the form can be sent to your lender. Any deferment request submitted to West will be forwarded to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) for processing. Student attendance is reported weekly to NSC and NSC then makes this information available to the lender. If you have any questions regarding your deferment, you may visit the NSC website at www.nslc.com.
Other Verification Requests
If you require a letter of verification for any purpose other than student loan deferment (e.g., insurance, employer, etc.), please complete the Request for Verification form and return to the Office of Student Records.
