Private College Student Loan

Can you still make payments on deferred student loans?

I have a private student loan with Citibank. I am registered to begin grad classes this upcoming fall. I will be attending at least half the time while working full time. I've thought about deferring my undergrad loan to help make payments but ultimately this allows for more interest to accrue on the principal that is unpaid. Can I make whatever payments I can on this deferred loan? Will I be penalized or will this void the deferement?

1. Nope, with student loans, you can make payments on it anytime without penalty. This will not void the deferement.
