List of designated educational institutions
The Master List of designated educational institutions is updated regularly and contains all the educational institutions where students are eligible to receive Canada Student Loans.
Each institution has its assigned four-digit Educational Institution Code and their name and address. This list is sorted alphabetically by the Educational Institution within each province or territory (international institutions are listed separately).
Some educational institutions that were formerly recognized for the purposes of the Canada Student Financial Assistance Program may no longer be found on the Master List of designated educational institutions if borrowers have not recently attended these institutions. To confirm whether an educational institution is recognized, please contact your provincial or territorial student financial aid authority.
