Emergency loans
The Emergency Loans Program assists students experiencing temporary financial crisis, through the provision of short-term interest-free loans that allow students to complete the academic year. Emergency loans are available to students who meet eligibility criteria—those facing financial stress as a result of unanticipated and unplanned circumstances and for whom other sources of funding are not available. Contact Student Central, Adminstration Building.
