The Access to University Learning Activities Fund provides employees with up to $1,100 per fiscal year (April 1 to March 31) to cover tuition fees for scheduled MacEwan University learning activities. This includes credit courses, non-credit and Continuing Education courses, courses available through MacEwan University Sport and Wellness, and programs available through the Conservatory of Music.

Please see the Professional Development section of the portal for more information about eligibility and process.

As we approach the end of our fiscal year, there are some key dates and associated actions to be aware of:

  • The deadline to submit applications for courses that begin prior to March 31, 2022 is March 23, 2022.
  • 2021/22 funds do not roll over into the next fiscal year.
  • Please do not submit applications for courses that begin on or after April 1. We cannot process applications that will occur in the next fiscal year with this fiscal year’s funds. Applications for courses that begin in the new fiscal year will not be accepted/processed until April 1, 2022.
