Welcome to our definitions page. We're sharing some of the words and phrases we commonly use when we're talking with students about awards and student loans, and for a comprehensive list, visit the National Student Loans Service Centre Glossary.
DISCLAIMER: These are the definitions we use at RRU, which are generally the most common. However, some funding programs will use different definitions. For example, most provincial/territorial student loan programs start the Academic Year on August 1, however some funders start on September 1. When in doubt contact your funder or the Financial Aid & Awards team at RRU.
