Frequently asked questions
How do I provide Confirmation of Enrollment to maintain in-study, interest-free status?
If you did not apply for full-time, government student financial assistance and need to provide Confirmation of Enrollment to prove in-study, interest-free status, most students submit their requests online through the National Student Loan Service Centre (NSLSC). Requests will only be confirmed during the term that you are enrolled. Confirmation requests after your study period end date will not update information for a study period that has already been completed.

How does repayment work?
Repayment of your federal and provincial student loans starts 6 months after your last study period end date. This 6 month period is considered your "grace" period. Your grace period is a good time to review your National Student Loan Service Centre (NSLSC) secure account to review your payment information, and modify your repayment terms if needed. The NSLSC has a Learning Hub to help students learn more about In-Study, Non-Repayment, and Repayment statuses of your student loans. Students can enter in to repayment and return back to full-time studies and in-study status multiple times during their academic career. |
