The Student Access Guarantee (SAG) for 2010-11. As an extension of the commitments made under the original MYAAs, your institution will participate in the SAG (including the new Access Window which allows Ontario students to identify costs and sources of financial aid). The detailed requirements for participation in the student access guarantee are outlined in the 2010-11 Student Access Guarantee Guidelines. For 2010-11, institutions will be required to automatically provide aid towards the tuition/book shortfalls of students attending first-entry programs. Provide a brief description of your strategy for implementing this change, including how this aid will be issued at your institution, your plans for the timing of aid, whether aid will be applied against tuition or as direct payments, and how recipients will be notified. As part of our budget planning, we set aside a portion of the revenues from the tuition increase to fund financial aid in general and the tuition/book shortfall in particular. The amount is determined according to Ministry rules. Students can use “My portfolio”, a web tool indicating the exact amount credited to their university account. Direct credit in the student account is planned for December 2010. If tuition is entirely paid for the registered semesters, Financial Services send a cheque for the surplus to the student. Identify whether your institution plans to provide loan assistance in values greater than $1,000 to meet tuition/book shortfalls of students in any of your second entry programs. If so: a) Identify the programs by name and by OSAP cost code; b) Describe how you determine how much loan aid to provide. Negotiations with the National Bank are under way to allow credit loans to any of our students from specific programs identified by the Ministry such as Medicine = HSCMED, Law = LAW, MBA = MBA, Master of Occupational / Physical therapy = MHSPH (physiotherapy), Master of Library Science = MARTEN (Master of arts), Master of Social Work = MSOSCEC (Masters Social Sciences). The maximum loan has not been set yet but the University is planning to negotiate the full amount of any SAG for the programs listed.
