Information on your file

If you have any questions or need information about your financial assistance file, contact us. Our experts can help you and even process most of the documents required by Aide financière aux études on the spot.

Nevertheless, you should check Online Services on a regular basis. You’ll receive a notification from Aide financière aux études whenever anything is added to your file, like a new assessment or a form to be completed.

Confirmation of enrolment

We send monthly confirmations to Aide financière aux études regarding the number of credits for which you are enroled at Université Laval. You must be a full-time student (minimum of 12 credits) for each term during which you receive loans and bursaries (unless you are deemed a full-time student).

Dropped courses

If you are thinking about dropping a course (before or after the tuition reimbursement deadline), we strongly recommend that you contact us beforehand. We will inform you of the impact (potentially significant) that your decision will have on the amount of financial assistance for which you are eligible.
