Schedule 1 Student Loans can be signed anytime after August 24. We will deduct tuition, student fees, health & dental insurance (unless you provide confirmation of a opt-out visit www.gallivan.ca for more information) and any other fees associated with your particular program (i.e. computer lease, exam fees, etc.).
Textbooks will not be ready for pick-up until mid-August. Textbooks can be deducted from your student loan and we will only do so if you are picking them up at the time your loan is signed.
