Payment Help – Payment with Loans or Grants

Using Financial Awards and/or Student Loans for your payment? Once the Office of the Registrar has received confirmation of your TWU Scholarships/Bursaries, Government Student Loans/Grants, Torch Benefits, Staff Tuition Benefits and Professional Development Awards, these funds will be applied to your Registration Invoice which can be viewed on the Student Portal.  

TWU Scholarships

If you are receiving TWU scholarships or bursaries, you must maintain the required semester hours, GPA and other specific award criteria each semester as designated for your program or forfeit your eligibility for awards.  Please contact the financial aid office at awards@twu.ca if you have questions regarding your award criteria.

Government Student Loans

If you are expecting Government Student Loans/Grants these funds may not automatically appear on your Registration Invoice. Each semester you are required to fax, email, mail or bring in a copy of your “Notification of Assessment” or “Letter of Loan Confirmation” to the Office of the Registrar.  If your loan is not enough to cover all of your tuition and fees for the semester, you will be required to pay 50% of the remaining balance up front.

If you do not confirm your negotiated loan documents (via the post office) or arrange to have the loan funds arrive at Trinity Western in time for the stated deadline then you must make payment by other means by the Payment Date in order to maintain your class registration and avoid interest charges and late payment fees.

All Canadian federal and provincial loan documents will be mailed to your home.  Please bring them to the Financial Awards Office for enrolment confirmation, and then take them to the post office for negotiation immediately. Once the loan funds are deposited in Trinity Western’s bank account, they will then be applied to your student account and you will receive an email confirming the receipt of the loan funds.

If you have not had any communication from the government within 4 weeks after you complete your loan application, please contact your Provincial student aid office customer service line.  If you continue to have difficulties, you should contact TWU Financial Awards office at awards@twu.ca, and they will help you with the process.

If you are obtaining government loans or seeking to keep your interest-free status you may contact the TWU Financial Awards Office at awards@twu.ca to ensure you are following the correct procedures.

Staff Tuition Benefits and Professional Development

If you are expecting Staff or Professional Development Benefits, and they are not listed on your Registration Invoice, contact humanresources@twu.ca. 

Torch Benefits

You must also request that your courses be validated on the basis of the sponsorship as this will not be done automatically.
