Jobs on Campus

Woman in lab

The Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities (MTCU) and Ontario's public universities and colleges partner to support access to postsecondary education. The principles of the student access guarantee initiative include the expectation that the student, and sometimes his or her family will participate in financing postsecondary education, based on their available financial resources, and that where additional financial support is needed students will access OSAP support first.

The Work Study program offers financial support to students. To meet the (MTCU) access to post secondary education initiative and the increasing demand for work on campus, a new funding model has been introduced. Students must have completed an application for OSAP or an out-of-province student loan in 2011-2012  and received a notice of assessment prior to applying for Work-study. The amount of OSAP or out-of-province student loan funding available to a student will be included in the Work-study unmet need calculation. Students were not required to take the OSAP or out-of-province student funding, but were expected to apply.

 

Important Notice

 

Students who received an exceptional work study approval in Fall Winter are not allowed to carry that exception forward for summer 2012. That approval expired on March 23, 2012.
