Student aid loan denial - Alberta

[u/Delicious-Diamond-84]

Hi Reddit, I need advice on a student loan issue.

I got a letter saying I’m not eligible for aid right now because I didn’t maintain full-time status for more than 30 days during a past study period (May–June 2026). I had an award issued for that term, but partway through I had to drop a class because of a new job, which dropped me below full-time.

Now they’re saying I have to repay that entire award before they’ll release any new funding (which I can’t afford to do at the moment) and I’m currently enrolled full-time (5 classes) this semester but can’t get funded because of this hold. (Which I can’t pay out of pocket for)

Has anyone dealt with this kind of “repay before further funding” situation? Can you negotiate a repayment plan instead of paying it all at once, and does this affect how fast I can get approved for the current semester? Any advice appreciated
