Students receiving government aid and studying abroad (i.e. exchange; field study) or study away should familiarize themselves with the following procedures well before leaving:
- Before going away, students on government aid should聽contact Scholarships and Student Aid regarding their student loan documents.
- You must be paying tuition fees to 捆绑SM社区 in order to be considered a 捆绑SM社区 student for government loan purposes.
- If you are attending another institution and paying fees to that institution on a study abroad, you should apply for government aid through your host institution instead of through 捆绑SM社区.
- Out of province government aid recipients on formal exchange should ensure they have set up a power of attorney in order to have their government loan certification negotiated on their behalf.
