Do you know students starting classes in September? Here’s some advice from Financial Aid:
Financial Aid and Awards Tips for August
Tip #1: Need a student loan for September? It’s not too late! On-line
applications are available at www.StudentAidBC.ca
Tip #2: When you receive your Master Student Loan Agreement promptly take
it to the post office. This will ensure that you have your funds in time for the fee
payment deadline.
Tip #3: If you are applying for student loans be sure the courses you register in meet Student Aid BC requirements – minimum of 9 post-secondary credits. These credits CANNOT include upgrading courses or course(s) you have already received a passing grade in.
“If we all did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.” (Thomas Edison)
IN THE EVENT OF A POSTAL DISRUPTION: In the event of a disruption in the delivery of mail by Canada Post, please do NOT submit StudentAid BC documents to a designated Canada Post outlet. Instead, take your loan documents to your nearest Service Canada location, ensure you sign the document, provide your banking information and bring proper ID. Contact our office for Service Canada locations in Abbotsford and Chilliwack. Should you have other student aid documents that need to be forwarded to StudentAid BC, such as declaration , appeals or reassessments, bring them to the Financial Aid & Awards Office for our weekly courier service. To inquire on the status of your Master Student Financial Assistance Agreement (MSFAA), please call the National Student Loan Service Centre at: 1-888-815-4514.
