Some Spring and Summer courses that are usually offered on-campus and are now being offered remotely. The 2025 Spring and Summer study sessions are as follows:
If you wish to use loan funding to pay for these courses, Nova Scotia Student Assistance requires that you must be registered in a total of 6 credit-hours over 6 continuous weeks of study. Any gap between the study sessions will cancel your full-time status.
Once you know which courses you want to take over the Spring and Summer session, you simply add them to your registration through Self-Service and email student.accounts@acadiau.ca to let us know that they are there and that you are using loan funds to pay for them.
If registering for online courses, you also need to include in your email that you understand all courses must be completed by August 31, 2025. We will advise the Registrar’s Office that student loan funds are paying for your course, and that you can be granted course access.
We will not be processing student loans for the Spring and Summer term until the start of classes on May 12, 2025.

If you change your registration
If you change any part of your registration once the Spring and Summer session begins, you must email student.accounts@acadiau.ca immediately. If you are no longer considered full-time, we are required to let your provincial student loan office know of your registration change which can affect your future funding. Please check with your provincial loan agency for their summer loan requirements.
