40.04 (1) The Minister may, by written notice, require a person to repay all or part of a grant, other than a grant awarded under section 34 or 40.022, to the Minister

• (a) if the person is no longer qualified for enrolment or is no longer enrolled as a full-time student or a part-time student, as the case may be, within 30 days after the first day of class unless unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances beyond the control of the person caused that change in status;

• (b) if the person received the grant on the basis of providing inaccurate information or of failing to provide relevant information to the Minister, the appropriate authority or the body authorized by the Minister for a province; or

• (c) if the appropriate authority determines that the person was not entitled to the grant as the result of a reassessment of the person’s need as determined under subsection 12(2) of the Act.

(2) The amount of the grant that is required to be repaid shall be converted into a direct loan.

(3) The Minister may, based on documentary evidence provided within six months after the date of notice of the requirement, cancel or amend a requirement for repayment made under paragraph (1)(a) if the requirement is not justified under that paragraph.
