Student Aid Alberta application stuck in processing for weeks not sure what to do

I’m currently enrolled in post-secondary out of province and applied for both student loans and scholarships through the Student Aid Alberta website.

I’ve been waiting for weeks for an update and still haven’t received one. Back in July, I was given a loan amount, but my application later went back to “Processing.” My scholarship applications are also still showing as processing.

I also have a disability, and my university was late providing my Schedule 4, so I wasn’t able to submit it until August. This was after I had already received my initial loan amount.

I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do at this point. Has anyone else experienced something similar with Student Aid Alberta? Should I just continue waiting, or is there someone I should contact to get an update on my application?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Housing fee

Hello, I’m a first-year Engineering student who will be living on campus. I received my residence assignment a couple of days ago, and up until today, there was no payment showing as due.

Today, I checked StarRez and under “Accounts” I noticed a fee of around $4,000. However, when I click to pay it, I’m redirected to the SHCS website, where it says that my account is up to date and no payment is currently required.

Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? Is the amount showing in StarRez simply an upcoming charge, or is there something I need to do?

Late admission???

it is possible for UOFA to give an admission to someone who's on the waitlist for UOFA Engineering a day before classes start? if not, is there like a final final deadline for them to let us know whether we got the spot?
