First-year or students who did not have government loan funding last year:

To defer your tuition until government student loan funding has been received, please submit a Virtual Helpline request for Out of Province (OOP) Loans and specify that you have applied for student loan funding and are requesting a tuition payment deferral

Upper-year/returning students who received government loan funding last year:

If you received student loans in your home province last year, your tuition fees are automatically deferred until your government loan funding has been received. You do not need to submit anything to the Financial Aid Office.

Students receiving out of province student loans must ensure that their first instalment of tuition fees are received in full no later than September 30 and that the second instalment of tuition fees is received no later than January 31.

If you are not receiving government loans for this academic year or your funding application has been delayed and you are enrolled as a full-time student, you can complete and submit a Continuation of Interest-Free Status Application which will notify the National Student Loans Service Centre (NSLSC) that you are still enrolled in studies. This will keep any past/current loans in Interest Free Status during your current study period.

To have your Continuation of Interest-Free Status Application completed by Western, you need to submit an online Continuation of Interest-Free Status Application through the National Student Loans Service Centre (NSLSC) Electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (ECE).

Graduate students will need to complete and submit an online Continuation of Interest-Free Status Application form every term you are attending studies if you are not recieving government loans.

Have your Continuation of Interest-Free Status Application completed once your study period has begun and before your study period ends. This document cannot be completed once your study period has ended.
