- Social Insurance Card or a notice of assessment from Revenue Canada indicating their name and Social Insurance number. This is a government policy and Student Awards will not be able to release loan documents without this information.
- Valid government issued photo ID such as driver’s license or health card (Student One Card is not acceptable).
- Be enrolled in the appropriate course load as requested by the student on their OSAP application or spring extension form.
