Requesting Non-Active Status

Extenuating circumstances may arise requiring you to take time away from your studies. You may retain affiliation with the Association by requesting Non-Active Status for a full academic year (September to August) at the time you process your annual re-enrollment (July/August) in the CGA program.

A non-active year is an academic year in which you do not take any CGA courses or examinations and you do not complete any courses towards a degree program. Please note that:

  • Non-Active Status will not be granted if you are taking CGA equivalent courses at a post secondary institution or if you are already enrolled in online CGA courses for the current academic year.
  • A non-active year will not be counted against your allotted time in the CGA Program. If granted, one year will be added to your time limit.
  • You may request up to two non-active years before you are advised to withdraw and re-enroll in the program. You must request Non-Active Status at the time you process your annual re-enrollment for every year you intend to hold this status.
  • Non-Active Status will not be granted retroactively. Once you have re-enrolled and paid your annual student fee, you are considered an active and current student for the corresponding academic year.

To apply for Non-Active Status:

  1. Submit a request online through My CGA Profile > Program Enrollment.
  2. Your request will be reviewed by Student Services staff and you will be notified by email with the result.
  3. If your Non-Active Status request is approved, complete the online re-enrollment process by accessing the Annual Declaration through "My CGA Profile" under the "Program Enrollment" tab.
  4. When you have completed the required Annual Declaration, the non-active fee will be automatically posted to your "Checkout".

It is important to take the time to plan your CGA program according to your personal needs, goals and workload prior to completing your annual re-enrollment in the CGA Program each year and we invite you to contact Student Services at studentservices@cga-alberta.org if you require assistance.

Student Services will not consider requests to change from non-active to active status after September 30th of each year.
