Part-time funding is best for students who:
Part-time funding does not cover living costs. If you need additional financial support for living costs, please contact Enrolment Services Advisors to discuss your financial plan.
To determine whether you are a part-time student, check the Course Load Guide. If you are registered in 20-59% of the full-time load listed for your program, you are considered a part-time student.
Please note that not all programs are eligible for part-time funding. You must be in a program approved for full-time student loans. Please contact Enrolment Services to check if your program is approved.
Residents of BC, Alberta, and Ontario apply through their individual province. Residents of all other provinces and territories apply through National Student Loans. Your province of residence is typically the province where you lived before attending UBC, depending on whether you are a dependent or an independent student.
If you have a previous part-time government Student Loan and you are returning to either part- or full-time study, you do not need to begin repayment. But you must inform your lender that you are returning to study. Please review the information for students with previous loans.
