If you had a previous loan, you must notify your lender that you have returned to part-time or full-time study to keep your student loan interest-free and prevent your loan from entering repayment.
If you do not notify your lenders, your loans may begin to build interest and you will enter repayment.
Notifying your lenders
Notify your lenders as soon as possible for each new eligible study period.
To find out if you are a part-time or full-time student and if you are registered in an eligible course load for your loans, visit the Course Load Guide.
Your lenders will automatically be notified of your return to study only if one of the following happens:
- You submit a payment-free or interest-free request to the same province, lender, or loan program as last year.
- You apply for a new student loan and receive funding before you enter repayment from the same province, lender, or loan program as last year.
