Receiving Your Loan

Cashing Your Loans

• Registration is confirmed directly between the school and the Alberta government (if you are an undergraduate student and have paid your confirmation fees).
• When you receive your loan certificate(s), the school may have confirmed your registration and remitted an amount to cover part of your tuition.
• If you have confirmed loan certificates, you need only to process your loans at any designated postal outlet with your banking information or a void cheque, your SIN card and photo ID.
• If you have unconfirmed loan certificates, take them to the Fees office (3rd Floor of the Administration Building) for signing and then proceed to a designated Canada Post outlet.
• After you process your loan(s) with the Post Office, it can take up to two weeks for the funds to be deposited into your account.
