Out of Province forms

The Student Awards & Financial aid (SAFA) office can assist with completing various out of province forms (e.g. confirmation of registration, confirmation of attendance, confirmation of student status, program information forms).

How to submit:

  • Send by email to safainfo@uwaterloo.ca using Moveit, the University’s secure file transfer service.
  • In the email include your name, student number, and which province the form is for.
  • Please submit in a fill-in PDF format. The fill-in feature of a PDF form displays in Google Chrome. If using Firefox, open the form in Adobe Reader to access the fill-in feature. You can download Adobe Acrobat Reader free.
  • Please don't submit a request through e-commerce or via the Proof of Enrolment page.

Interest-free Status

The majority of out-of-province loan programs complete an online schedule 2 confirmation of enrolment through the NSLSC online services. 

Submit this form if you're:

  • a part time student with previous part-time loans, or
  • a full-time student with previous full-time loans from another province
  • Not currently receiving government student aid
