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 Professionals to discuss your financial plan.
To determine whether you are a part-time student, check the Course Load Guide. If you are registered in between 20% and 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.
Students apply for part-time funding through their home province or territory. Your home province is 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 Canada 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.
