How to Use ApplyAlberta

If you already have an account, just sign in and verify that your information is still correct. Edit personal details if required and then proceed to step 2. Create an ApplyAlberta profile.

If you do not have an account, you will need to create one. A ‘Basic’ account is required to proceed with ApplyAlberta. You do not require a ‘Verified’ account to apply to Lakeland.

Alberta Student Number

• To check if you have an Alberta Student Number, use the ASN Lookup service.
• If you do not have an assigned Alberta Student Number, one will be created during the application process.

Once you’ve signed in, the system will attempt to match your Alberta Student Number by confirming your legal name provided when you created your My Alberta.ca Account.

If you receive a message that says, ‘Sorry, that ASN is already connected to a ‘My Alberta Account’ this means that you already created an account with a different email address that has your Alberta Student Number (ASN) connected to it. An ASN can only be tied to one Alberta.ca Account. In order to proceed you will need to logout of the account you are currently in and then login with the other, connected, account. If you no longer have access to the email address or cannot recall the other account, you will need to phone the Alberta.ca Help Desk for assistance.

After you confirm your basic account by clicking on the link in your email and entering your password, sign out of your account.

On the sign in page, click on Available Services.

On the Available Services page, select Post Secondary and Education. Choose the 3rd option – Apply to programs at Alberta’s post-secondary institutions and then click on Apply Alberta to be directed back to the sign in page. When you sign in, it will direct you to step 2. Create an Apply Alberta profile.
