First of all, in the graduate forum you have to be a little patient - there are fewer posters here and I get the sense that we are online less often than in some of the other forums.

Secondly - yes, you can defer your federal loans while you are in graduate school. I don’t even think you need to find out who your servicer is; when you enroll, your university will submit your enrollment status to the National Student Loan Data Clearinghouse and your servicer should automatically update the information. (I never had to request a deferment when I was in school - it happened automatically.) However, it’s good to know who your servicer is just in case this doesn’t work out.
