In the winter semester:

• You were a full-time university student
• You applied for assistance through the Province of Nova Scotia for that semester
• Your application for student assistance was processed and an assessment was completed
   
• You will be taking at least 1 full credit or 2 half credit course(s) beginning within two months of your winter semester ending
• If you are taking a course(s), it will be credited to the same program you were taking during the winter semester
• If you are taking courses, you will be:
  • attending the same university as you did in the winter semester;  OR
  • attending classes at a different university, using a letter of permission from your 'home' university

If you are on a letter of permission:

• You will be eligible for an extension only if your home university agrees to sign the loan document.
• You will be required to send a copy of your letter of permission as part of your application.
• If your university will not sign the document, you may be able to apply on a new application.  See the Application for Spring/Summer Session - Confirmation of Program   for the course load requirements.
