BSA Award Processing Yearend Deadlines

Published: 27 March 2023

As the University’s Fiscal Year end of April 30th, 2023 quickly approaches, we wish to inform you of some important deadlines and information you should be aware of.

Student Financial Aid and Awards Paid Through BSA

The Scholarships and Student Aid Office (SSAO) uses BSA (Banner Student Aid) for disbursing financial aid and awards to undergraduate and graduate students. For award payments to be disbursed to students and charged to your FOAPAL by April 30th, 2023, units must submit their requests using the Award Processing Form from the Minerva “FAA Admin” tab by Tuesday, APRIL 25, 2023 at 5:00PM.

Awards Not Yet Paid

Any awards impacting Fiscal Year 23 that have not been paid by Friday April 28th for any reason (e.g. the student has failed eligibility) will be cancelled. Examples of eligibility criteria that must be met are:

  • Student must be registered in the term of the scheduled pay dates of the award
  • Student must have direct deposit information for awards payable directly to their Canadian bank account
  • Student must have a valid active address on record, regardless of payment method

Please ensure you are responsive to emails from student.funding [at] mcgill.ca which may require immediate resolution. If you have any award processing questions or concerns, please email us.
