RESP providers generally require proof of full-time status for the full academic year along with the number of credits completed at an educational institution.
Students can submit their proof of enrolment letters directly to their RESP provider. This includes the following companies:
- Knowledge First Financial: knowledgefirstfinancial.ca CST:
- Heritage Education Funds:
- Children's Education Funds:
What to submit
- Print a Proof of Enrolment letter from Minerva 鈥� select the Credits Completed to Date option
- Write on the letter your Agreement/Plan/Contract number (normally found on the form provided by your company)
- Submit the letter directly to your RESP provider
Should you have questions such as what letters should be provided (and by which deadlines), when or how funds will be disbursed, or for any other matter regarding your RESP, please contact your RESP provider directly.

Students on Exchange, Study Away or Bureau de coop茅ration interuniversitaire - Inter University Transfer
If you are on exchange, on a study away or completing courses at another Quebec university under the Bureau de coop茅ration interuniversitaire (BCI) Inter-University Transfer (IUT), the letter will indicate 鈥淣on-resident鈥� as your registration status. In this case, please contact for further assistance. We will provide you with a letter.
Newly-admitted students
Many RESP companies require that you provide proof of full-time status by August 1st, however given that newly-admitted students can only register as of June you are advised to:
- Submit a copy of your acceptance letter directly to your RESP provider (so they can start processing your claim)
- Once you have registered full-time, follow the steps above
FAQ
My RESP company did not accept the letter, what should I do?
In many cases, the letter was not accepted because you did not provide the 鈥淧roof of Credits complete to-date鈥� letter. You MUST choose this option when generating the letter from Minerva.
It is also recommended that you provide the letter that indicates full-time enrolment for both the Fall and Winter terms. In the 鈥淭erm(s)鈥� box, scroll down to choose 鈥淔all&Winter 20xx/20xx (Full-Time)鈥�.
Another reason why the RESP company may reject your letter is that you have not completed enough credits to change academic year. Should the company require additional information about your academic record, we recommend providing the company with a transcript, or contact for further assistance.聽
