What are the features of Alberta student loans?
Government loans have various distinguishing qualities because they are design specifically for students:
Interest-free loans are possible if you are a full-time student and inform your provincial and/or federal student loan provider.
For full-time and part-time students, as well as students with special needs, information about interest-free status is available.
Students from other provinces or territories may be eligible for financial aid through their home province or territory (provincial or federal student loan schemes).
Students should apply for student loans as soon as possible to ensure that their financial help is recognized and validated, allowing them to pay their tuition and fees before the due date.
Each Term’s fee payment deadlines are specified in the Academic Schedule.

What is the Academic progress for student loans?
Students are eligible for student loan support for the number of years stipulate in their program plus one year. Undergraduate students at AUArts, for example, are eligible for student loans for a maximum of five years.
Students with a documented permanent impairment are not subject to the program length + one year limit, but they are still subject to the lifetime loan limits.
For a period of 12 months, students who withdraw from two study periods after receiving student aid funding will not be eligible for additional financing. This withdrawal restriction, however, does not apply to students who switch to part-time studies.
What are the Grant programs for students with disabilities?
Supplemental grant funds may be available for students with documented disability. The Student Loan/supplemental application is related to these grants, which are available through the Student Loan/supplemental application. Grants may be use to replace a portion of student loans in some cases, reducing the amount of debt a student will have from year to year.
Grants for supporting learning services, such as tutoring, academic strategy, note taking, supportive software, and other goods and services, may be in specific cases and base on the supplemental application.
