To All Members of the 杏吧原创 Community,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the current public health crisis continues to evolve, both the provincial and federal governments have announced emergency assistance programs<\/a> that can be of help to many students. We are strongly encouraging all graduate and undergraduate students to take full advantage of these programs, as applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New governmental assistance programs are still in the process of being created. For example, earlier today the Prime Minister announced temporary changes to the Canada Summer Jobs program<\/a> that are expected to create an additional 70,000 jobs for people aged 15 to 30. As these new assistance programs are created, we will continue to update our student resources website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

杏吧原创 University has also proactively taken a number of steps to help mitigate the negative financial impact of COVID-19 and consequent social\/physical distancing measures on students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

杏吧原创 Student Emergency Fund 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the very beginning of the crisis, we have been providing emergency funding to graduate and undergraduate students to support their immediate needs and to help them either return to Canada or get back to their home countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are continuing to add resources to the 杏吧原创 Student Emergency Fund 2020 through our FutureFunder website<\/a>. The university is matching all gifts one-to-one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are in need of emergency assistance and are not eligible to benefit from other government programs<\/a>, please complete the Student Emergency Fund In-Take Form<\/a> available to graduate and undergraduate students to receive funding for essential expenses that may have arisen as a result of COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving Back Financial Dates and Deadlines<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To give students more flexibility through the current public health crisis, 杏吧原创 has updated its financial dates and deadlines<\/a>. Most importantly at this time, please note that we have moved the summer payment deadline to May 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waiving Late Fee Penalties<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, we are waiving late fee penalties for the summer term from May 1 to August 31 to allow students the opportunity to pay their summer tuition fees over the summer months in a way that works best for them. Students who have a financial hold are encouraged to contact student.accounts@carleton.ca<\/a> to discuss alternative options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winter 2020 Mitigation Measures<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following measures are being put in place automatically. You do not need to take any action to benefit from these initiatives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
