Details about redeeming RESPs

Do you have a registered education savings plan (RESP)? You can begin accessing your funds if you've finished enrolling in your fall 2023 AND winter 2024 courses.   

RESP providers have varying processes to confirm your enrolment and release your funds. Be sure to check with your RESP provider to find out their process.

  • Most RESP funds will accept an official confirmation of enrolment letter; access yours through your Student Cetnre (my.ucalgary.ca).
  • If your RESP provider has a form they require to be completed, you can submit it using a service request.
