FAQ

McGill's monthly confirmations of enrollment for students receiving AFE are performed according to the information appearing on school transcripts. If this information is incorrect, contact your Faculty/Department immediately. You can find the latest confirmation we sent AFE on Minerva under Financial Aid & Awards Menu / Government Aid for Students-Confirmation of enrolment.

If your AFE application has no decision after the processing date has passed on AFE's website:

1. Review your application and determine if you have sent all the required supporting documents. Important: AFE will not begin assessing a student’s file until it has received all the required documentation.
2. Contact AFE 
3. Visit or contact the Scholarships and Student Aid 

If you have applied for government aid but have not yet received it in time to pay your fees, you should consider applying for a Tuition Payment Deferral via Minerva’s Financial Aid/Awards menu.

If you have reached AFE’s debt limit or the maximum number of months of eligibility for loans and bursaries, you may book an appointment with our Quebec Financial Aid Counsellor. We will review your file and the possibility of an Exceptional Case application. If it is determined that an Exceptional Case application is the best way to proceed, we will help you assemble the required documentation and send your application to AFE. Please note that it is important to start this process as early as possible in the summer before the start of the academic year that will be impacted. For more information, please see the Appeals/Remedies page of AFE’s website and refer to the Guide for Presenting an Exceptional Case Application to the Examination Committee for Exceptional Cases.
