You will be directed to the institution's application portal where you will apply and pay any application fees", and "All application fees are paid directly to the institution you are applying to. Each institution has its own unique application fees". Deadlines must be read from each of Alberta's 26 publicly-funded institutions.

The public calendar schedules Spring/Summer 2027 applications opening December 1, 2026 and acceptance beginning March 1, 2027. It labels February 2, 2027 as acceptance of the first 300 returning students for 2027–28, and May 17 as new-to-residence acceptance beginning.
