Ann BullerPresident and CEO

WelcomeI often meet students who tell me that they were drawn to Centennial College because of our vision of “transforming lives and communities through learning.” Their decision to join us was as much about our commitment to changing the world around us as it was to study in a particular field. We care deeply about social justice, about equity, about opportunity. If you are interested in learning how to be successful in an ever changing world and to complement whatever your field of study may be with a unique global perspective, then you couldn’t have selected a better college. You should feel confident that you have chosen a college that integrates learning with our responsibilities to the world around us.

3Centennial LIFE

From the first moment that you walk down the halls, you will realize that you are part of a learning community that mirrors the world – Centennial has more than 18,000 full-time students, 20,000 continuing education students and more than 2,400 international students. These students represent 100 different cultures and more than 80 languages.

A Centennial graduate is not just someone who has completed one of our programs, but is a transformed and more self-aware human being who has the knowledge, insight and critical thinking skills necessary to work anywhere in the world. There are few guarantees in life, but I will promise you this – if you open yourself to new ideas and concepts, if you engage and debate and participate, you too will leave Centennial with the confidence and insight necessary to succeed. And you’ll leave with the desire to make a real difference in the world.

In choosing Centennial, you have begun a challenging and rewarding journey, but not one that you will travel alone. With outstanding faculty and a truly superb array of student services, we’ll be with you every step of the way.

17Centennial LIFE

Student Financial Services (SFS)

When you enroll at Centennial you will want to learn and study, meet new friends, join clubs and get involved. You will also want to be free of financial worry and for this you need a plan. The cost of tuition, books, supplies, travel or living expenses can easily add up to more than you originally anticipated. There is help available to meet these costs at the SFS Office located at each campus.

Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is designed to supplement your financial resources. By filling out an OSAP application, you will be assessed by the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development for a variety of financial aid programs, including grants and bursaries. You should apply EARLY for funding to ensure that it will be available when you need it. To be in a position to pay an OSAP deposit, we suggest you apply at least a month in advance of your Winter or Summer deposit deadline. For deposit deadlines please refer to your fee statement.

Centennial LIFE18 Centennial LIFE18

Six Steps to the OSAP Process

Tip:Centennial will allow you to exercise your OSAP deposit payment option until your OSAP is disbursed in the fall, providing you have submitted your completed OSAP application by the beginning of May. Remember when completing your OSAP application to allow for your tuition remittance to be returned to Centennial for faster, easier fee payment. Speak to a Student Financial Services representative for more details.

19Centennial LIFE 19Centennial LIFE

1. APPLY EARLY ONLINE – For programs starting in the fall, the online OSAP application is available early spring (February – March) but we strongly recommend that you apply for OSAP as soon as you, your spouse or your parents, depending upon your status, have submitted your/their income tax return for the previous year. Go to: www.ontario.ca/osap. It’s free, fast and easy. Set up your OAN (Ontario Access Number) and two challenge questions. Write down you OAN – you will need it for future access to the OSAP website. Once you have applied online, read everything presented to you for signature, so you know your obligations!

IMPORTANT: When filling out your OSAP application, you will have a section that states “Don’t pay fees on my behalf.” Centennial College strongly recommends you NOT select this box so that your fees will be remitted directly to the College, especially if you will choosing the $200 OSAP deposit option. See page 4.

2. PRINT YOUR SIGNATURE pages and supporting documents. For faster processing, please follow OSAP uploading directions for your signature pages and any supporting documents.

3. PRINT YOUR MASTER STUDENT FINANCIAL AID AGREEMENT and take it in person to a Canada Post designate as soon as possible so your OSAP deposit account can be set up. IMPORTANT: EVERY TIME you come to your Canada Post designated location you MUST bring your social insurance card and valid government photo identification. Additionally, you MUST bring a personal cheque marked ‘void’ so your OSAP account can be identified for deposit of your OSAP funds.

4. ENROLL full time in your program.

5. YOUR OSAP will be direct deposited into your bank account once your institution confirms you have enrolled full-time!

6. NEW! You must confirm your income online with OSAP before the start of your second semester so your second disbursement is released in a timely fashion.

Introducing the New Ontario Student Grant (OSG): The Pathway to the “Free Tuition” OSAP Program

Beginning September 2017, the Ontario government is transforming student financial assistance to make post-secondary education more accessible and affordable. To help more students qualify for grants and access the student loan system, Ontario is introducing a new grant – the Ontario Student Grant (OSG) – which will provide eligible, full-time students access to more generous financial assistance. Students are automatically considered for the OSG when they apply for OSAP.

If you’re a post-secondary student and your parents earn $50,000 or less in annual income you will receive enough grants to cover the average cost of your college tuition. Most students from

middle and lower income families will receive more generous grants than ever before. Many middle income students will receive grants that exceed the value of their tuition too!

These changes will ensure that our financial support for you is transparent, timely and targeted to our students with the greatest financial need. The Ontario Government’s new OSAP program will help further assist students with more grant funding than in the past.

But a friendly reminder – tuition costs are only a part of your total education costs. Remember the “free tuition” is for tuition and you will have other costs that you will need to plan for when you consider post-secondary education.

21Centennial LIFE

Some of these other costs include:

• Ancillary fees (many students do not realize their ancillary fees are in addition to their actual tuition costs)

• Books and supplies

• Transportation

• Lodging and meals

• Personal expenses, such as cellphone, credit card payments, etc.

So although the new OSAP assistance is more generous, don’t forget those additional costs when you are planning.

Please note: Students who receive the OSG and withdraw from their program within the first 30 days, will have their grant converted to a repayable loan.

We encourage all interested students to apply for OSAP as soon as possible in Spring 2017 to find out how much they will receive in this new grant funding!

Additional Avenues of Financial Support

There are other financial programs that you can apply for separately. Visit the Student Financial Support (SFS) office for answers to your financial aid questions and more

information on our various financial aid opportunities. Students wishing to access any scholarships and bursaries must first complete the online Scholarships and Bursaries Questionnaire on myCentennial before being considered for these funding opportunities.

Centennial College Scholarships

Centennial College has an annual student awards program that recognizes the academic excellence of our learners. Awards requiring an application are advertised on the College website, myCentennial, by emails, or on posters throughout the College. Many of our scholarship opportunities are solely based on your academic performance and do not require an application.

Centennial College Bursaries

Centennial provides more than $3.3 million in non-repayable bursary funding each year to financially eligible students. Financial opportunities are regularly advertised on myCentennial and on the College website. For more details, visit the SFS website at: centennialcollege.ca/financialsupport.
