This form is available at Student Financial Services or online at www.gov.nl.ca/studentaid.
Deadline: eight (8) weeks prior to the end of the period of study (semester) to which financial assistance being reviewed relates.

You may be present at the meeting either in person or by teleconference. The decision of the External Appeals Board is final and binding on all parties.
Deadline: six (6) weeks prior to the end of the period of study (semester) that the financial assistance being reviewed relates.
