Eligibility for Deferment of Payment of Tuition of
Fees by Certain Eligible Students Receiving
Service members, Veterans, and dependents of veterans who
are eligible beneficiaries of U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs education
benefits or other governmentally funded educational assistance, subject to the
conditions and guidelines set forth in Tennessee Code Annotated 49-7-104 as
amended, may elect, upon formal application, to defer payment of required
tuition and fees until the final day of
the term for which the deferment has been requested. Application for the deferment must be made no
later than 14 days after the beginning of the term, and the amount of the deferment
shall not exceed the total monetary benefits to be received for the term. Students who have been granted deferments are
expected to make timely payments on their outstanding tuition and fees balance
once education benefits are being delivered, and eligibility for such deferment
shall terminate if the student fails to abide by any applicable rule or
regulation, or to act in good faith in making timely payments. This notice is published pursuant to Public
Chapter 279, Acts of 2003, effective
