Ineligible programs
Student loan funding is limited to students enrolling in and attending recognized full-time post-secondary level programs leading to a formal credential (certificate, diploma or degree). Chapter 2 - Program Eligibility, of the StudentAid BC Policy Manual details a specific policy with regard to ineligible programs.
For example, programs of study designed specifically to meet the needs of full-time members of the labour force (i.e. Executive Programs) are ineligible for student loan funding. Please note, if your program is ineligible for student loan funding, it is also ineligible for interest-free status.
