Alberta Legislature Building, Edmonton

Alberta tables bill to lift tuition cap and keep schools neutral

Current cap on domestic tuition increases

2 %

Bill 38 would let the minister replace the 2 per cent cap on annual domestic tuition increases with maximum rates for programs.

Institutional speech

Universities and colleges would need institutional neutrality policies, barring official positions on political and ideological issues. Individuals would stay free to speak.

And us?

For students and families

Tuition for 2027-28 stays capped at 2 per cent for now. Alberta is also dropping parental income from student loan assessments for 2026-27.
