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. An appointment with an advisor in the International Student & Study Abroad Centre is required. To book an appointment, contact ISSAC.
