Extensions are considered on a case-by-case basis and student advisors consider your progress and personal situations.  You may be asked to provide an explanation of why an extension is needed and a plan of how you are to complete your program moving forward.  The following is a helpful link to the Alberta Student Aid website outlining extensions: https://studentaid.alberta.ca/policy/student-aid-policy-manual/full-time-student-loans-and-grants/changes-to-end-dates/

If you have Out of Province Student Loans, please contact your Provincial Student Loan Service Centre to see what options you have for your extension.  

If you require an extension for more than 30 days, the following options are available to students with Alberta Student Loans.  Please note that extensions for the following options are only given in 3-month increments.  

Option #1: I do NOT need more Living Allowance while I complete my program. 

      A Confirmation of Registration Alberta – Form B must be completed to maintain your Interest Free Status.  This form cannot be submitted after your Academic End Date so it is advised that you submit this form no later than 1 month prior to your session end date.  This form can be found on the Alberta Student Aid website under Applications and Forms.  Please read Instructions on page 1 of this Form B very carefully.  

      **The new end date cannot be more than 90 days from your original start date.

1. Complete section 1 of the Form B
2. Email completed Form B to advisor@eietrainingcentre.ca to complete part 2.  Indicate your Extension Start and End date in  your email.
   
3. Head office will completed and sign section 2.  Your Student Advisor will return the completed form to you along with an amended Enrollment Contract for you to sign and return to us via email. 
   
4. Student will upload the completed Form B to their Student Aid Account by using the “Upload Document” feature.  
   
5. Once Student Aid receives and processes a Form B, the student will not receive a letter or notification, however they should find the information updated on their MyLoan account.
   

Option #2: I do need more Living Allowance while I complete my program.

You can apply for another partial Alberta Student Loan.  Since no further tuition is required, you will only be assessed for additional Living Allowance.  *Please know that it is up to you the student to apply, should you want to incur more debt or not.

1. To apply for another student loan, please see our "Step by Step Guide to Applying for Student Aid" Course on our online learning portal. 
   
2.  In step 12 of the guide, you will follow the instructions carefully and choose European Institute of Esthetics for the school, choose your program, then the specialization is your program name again, then choose 1 year or less.  When you get to the Period of Study Dates area, you will see a list of all the available session dates: full program dates as well as 3 month extension dates.  You must choose one of the 3 month extension dates only. If you choose a full program date, you will need to cancel or update your application which may delay the entire process.
   Please choose the start date that is closest to your current session end date without overlapping your session dates.  For example, if your current session dates are May 15, 2023 to October 27, 2023, then you will click October 28, 2023 to January 28, 2024.
3. Continue the rest of the steps (12d. and on) as shown in the step by step guide.  Then Submit your application.
   
4. Once your application is completed, you will receive another Student Award Letter with your new loan/grants amount for living allowance.   
   
5. Email your new Student Award Letter to your student advisor at advisor@eietrainingcentre.ca to request your extension.  You may be asked to provide an explanation of why an extension is needed and a plan of how you are to complete your program moving forward.  
   
6. Your Student Advisor will send you a newly revised Enrolment Contract with your new session dates.
   
7. Sign where indicated and return to your Student Advisor.
