Student Loan Requirements

  1. Confirm your enrolment
    Before your student loan and/or grant money can be released, your school must confirm that you are enrolled in an eligible, full-time post-secondary program for the entire study period for which you have been awarded funding.
  2. Confirm your identity at a Canada Post outlet
    Make sure to bring allthe following personal documentation with you:

    • your social insurance card, or a copy of an official Government of Canada document that includes your social insurance number, such as your Canada Revenue Agency Notice of Tax Assessment; and
    • official government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s license, B.C. identification card or passport; and
    • a void, personal cheque with your bank account number. If you do not have a personal cheque, your bank or credit union can help you complete the electronic funds transfer section of your Master Student Financial Assistance Agreement. If you lose your agreement, contact StudentAid BC to have the document reprinted and sent to you.
    • At the Canada Post outlet, staff will:
      • make sure your Master Student Financial Assistance Agreement is valid for processing;
      • confirm that you have provided proper identification; and
      • forward your Master Student Financial Assistance Agreement to the NSLSC
