Clemson University participates in the National Student Clearinghouse. Four times a semester (after last day to register or add a class, last day to drop a class, last day to drop a class or withdraw without final grades, and after exams), the University submits a report of students' enrollment status to the Clearinghouse which, in turn, supplies verification of enrollment to lending agencies. Deferment loan forms are forwarded to the Clearinghouse once a week. Clemson University does not supply this information directly to lending agencies. If a student had registered late or has had an exception, this student's information may not be reported until the submission of the next Clearinghouse Report. The Clearinghouse asks that if a student receives a collection letter from a lending agency, the student should do the following.

1. Call the lending agency to see if a deferment form was received between the time the Clearinghouse supplied the information and the lending agency sent the collection letter.
2. If, after calling the lending agency, it still appears that the deferment has not been processed, the student may call the Clearinghouse at 703.742.7791 and ask for a Student Service Representative. The representative will verify the date on which the deferment form was received by the Clearinghouse, the date the deferment was certified and mailed, and the enrollment status that was certified, and where the form was sent.
