If you applied for a previous loan, you must notify your lender that you have returned to part-time or full-time study.
If you do not notify your lenders, your loans will begin to accrue interest and you will enter repayment.
UBC can inform your lender(s) that you've returned to school through the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS).
You'll need to email usloans.inquiry@ubc.ca to request that Enrolment Services submit your current enrolment information to your US lenders.
Your SSN is needed to add you to the NSLDS roster. Please provide your SSN to Enrolment Services by phone.
Once this update is submitted, you will be on a report that UBC completes once every 60 days for the NSLDS. You will not need to manually request an enrolment update again, unless you cease to be a full-time student at UBC for a semester or more.
In-school deferment eligibility
If you are registered in at least 6 credits per term, you will be eligible for In-School Deferment for your current study period.
Depending on the types of US loans you have, you may still build interest on your loans even if you are eligible for deferment.
