Is IPL eligible for student funding?
The IPL course is not eligible for student loan funding under federal regulations because it is considered professional training.
To be enrolled in IPL and receive access to IPL materials, your required tuition fee payment must be processed in full. Please note that final course results will not be released if there is an outstanding requirement, such as unpaid tuition.
