On November 3, 2026, Alberta Student Aid announced that parental contribution will no longer be used to calculate eligibility for Alberta student loans in the 2026-27 academic year.
For students whose study period ends in more than 30 days
Students should log in to their Alberta Student Aid account and select “Request for Review” from the right-hand menu. When submitting a request, they must select
“I want to request additional funding” as the reason for review.
To ensure their application is reassessed, they must submit their request at least 30 days before their study period ends.
Correction: Previous instruction advised students to select “Change to Parental Information” as the reason for review.
Students will be notified through their Alberta Student Aid account once the reassessment is complete. They can also monitor the status of their request at any time by selecting Request for Review within their account.
Due to the anticipated high volume of reconsideration requests, processing times may be longer than normal.
