Application Deadline

Reg.: Schedule 2, s. 8(1)(b)

A completed application and any documents required to confirm the student’s eligibility must be received by Alberta Student Aid at least 30 calendar days prior to the student’s study period end date. Applications and/or any documents received after this date will not be considered, except in exceptional circumstances.

This applies to the following:

• original full-time applications for financial assistance (including all appropriate Schedules)
• Requests for Reconsideration or letters that are provided to report changes to application information or to request additional funding.

An application may be processed without the completed Schedule 4 form. The Schedule 4 may be submitted later, however the following applies:

• For the Canada Student Grant for Students with Disabilities to be provided, the Schedule 4 must be received at least 30 calendar days prior to the student’s study period end date.
• Where Assistive Service is requested, the Schedule 4 must be received at least 30 calendar days prior to the student’s study period end date.
• Where Equipment/Assistive Technology is requested and the study period is:
  • less than 4 months (e.g., spring/summer semester, apprenticeship classroom instruction), the Schedule 4 must be received prior to the study period start date.
  • between 4 to 6 months, the Schedule 4 must be received at least 30 calendar days prior to the study period end date.
  • between 7 to 12 months, the Schedule 4 must be received at least 90 calendar days prior to the study period end date.

Where Equipment/Assistive Technology is requested, the Schedule 4, completed application and any documents required to confirm the student’s eligibility must also be received before the Schedule 4 deadlines.

Please note, an application is not considered complete until:

• all requested missing information has been submitted
• the required Consent and Declaration form is submitted for married/common-law students who applied online.

Students who cannot meet the application deadline, or submit their application later than 30 calendar days prior to the student’s study period end date but before their last day of studies for reasons beyond their control may request reconsideration through the Review Process.
