Cashing your Loan Certificates top^
Once you receive your Canada or Alberta Student Loan Certificates in the mail, check to see if they have been CERTIFIED BY THE SCHOOL (most documents have already been certified by BVC).  If they have not, a Financial Aid Administrator at the College must sign them. Drop your loan documents off at the 3rd floor main counter to be signed for pick-up. Please note that there is a 48-hour (2 day) turn around time for signing of these documents. If they have already been CERTIFIED BY THE SCHOOL see below.

Once CERTIFIED or SIGNED you must take them to an approved Canada Postal Outlet for processing. Remember to take your SIN card, photo ID, and your banking information (void cheque).
