In order for Canadian students to receive financial assistance from the Canadian government the student must attend a designated institute of which Leeds Beckett is one and be enrolled on an approved educational programme.

Students need to contact the US Loans administrator at usloans@leedsbeckett.ac.uk.

Following contact with the US loans administrator, an information sheet will be sent out to the student to complete and return which will ask for details of the course to be studied and contact details.

How it works

The student will need to provide the US loans administrator with an Appendix 3 form and fill in sections A and C only before sending it to the email address above. Once the form has been completed by the school it will be returned to the student. This form does not confirm enrolment or registration on the programme of study, only to determine the student’s eligibility for financial assistance.

At the start of the programme of study the student should receive a Confirmation of Enrolment form from Student Aid BC. This form needs to be sent to the US Loans office (email address above). The school will check your enrolment and complete the form which will be emailed to Student Aid BC, who can be contacted by email at Sabc.AdminUnit@gov.bc.ca.

The student needs to advise the school whether the payments need to come to the school or go to the student. Please note if the money is to be utilised for payment of Fees the student should indicate what amount needs to come to the school if this is not the full amount.

If there is any changes to your student status for example you withdraw or go from Full time to Part time you must contact the US Loans administrator immediately.

Students from Ontario need to download a Program Information Form (OSAP) for the year of study, complete the address fields and course information and send to the school to be completed. This will then be returned to the student following the school completion of the programme information for them to upload to their OSAP account.

The student does not need to be registered or attending the school for the form to be completed.

The Canadian Government sends any Financial Aid in the form of a Canadian dollar check directly to the school (unless the funds go directly to the student). The US loans administrator will request the Finance office to sell the check and convert to UK pounds which will be posted onto the students University account. The student will be advised of the exchange rate and funds received in and will then need to advise the US loans administrator as to where any money due to the student needs to be paid.

Students will need to provide the US loans administrator with a programme cost’s form to fill in. The school will then email the completed form back to student aid.
