$500 Credit to Student Accounts  

This credit is available to SIA’s first-year, incoming students who meet the following criteria:

• enrolment in a SIA program commencing September 2020, including:
  • ELI at SIA (Levels 1 through 8)
  • ELI Short Level 8 (beginning in November 2020)
• tuition and fees billed to student accounts must be paid in full by Sept. 14, 2020
• Social Insurance Number (SIN) or Individual Tax Number (ITN) entered on Student Home by selecting “SIN/ITN Information” under the “Profile” section — this applies to students who have arrived in Canada only

Students who meet the above criteria will automatically receive a $500 credit to their student account by Sept. 30, 2020. The credit will be applied to outstanding fees; if there is credit remaining, the credit can be applied towards your second semester tuition fees. Refunds are limited to students who hold a Canadian bank account with Interac e-transfer capability and must be requested by emailing theservicehub@senecacollege.ca.

For students who paid and deferred their September 2020 SIA acceptance to January 2021 due to COVID-19, the $500 credit will be applied to their January term by Jan. 31, 2021. The credit will not be available for acceptances deferred beyond January 2021or acceptances/confirmations that have been changed to a campus other than SIA.

This is a nine-digit number that you need to work in Canada or to have access to government programs and benefits. You can obtain a SIN many ways, including:

• visiting a Service Canada booth upon arrival to a Canadian airport
• visiting a local Service Canada office
• dropping by the Service Canada booth at SIA during orientation
