Waiting in line to pick up their financial aid funding may have been a rite of passage for university students, says an official with the UWindsor student awards office, but it will soon be a thing of the past.
Starting this fall semester, the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) will disburse monies through an Electronic Funds Transfer system.
Marian Doll, the University’s acting director of Student Awards and Financial Aid, called it a “major step forward” and said her office is working closely with Information Technology Services to implement the new system.
