The program will replace the current O-SAFE and will become active on July 15th. If you try to access the current O-SAFE site after this date, you will be directed to the new program. You can log in to the new program by using your current username and password; however, the system will require you to enter your e-mail address and some other basic information (new password, your name and phone number). The next time that you log in after the initial access you will use your e-mail address as a username and your newly created password. If multiple users currently use a single account/username, each user will need to log in using that username and each will be prompted to enter individual user information. Each user at each school will now have their own username (their e-mail address) and password. If you currently use more than one username to log in, please contact us after your first login to any of your existing accounts so that we can add access to all the programs to which you send and receive files. For example, if you need to send and receive files from OTAG and CACG and currently use two different usernames, call us after you login to your existing account for OTAG and we can add access to CACG to that account. I have attached a copy of the new user manual. While this program will look different, we believe that it will work well and you will find it easy to use. If you have files that need to be sent or if you need to request files please do so by Thursday, July 12. If you send files that day, please follow up with an e-mail or phone call so that we can retrieve those that day. Files sent after this date will not be transferred to the new program and may be lost. Please do not send files to us through O-SAFE on Friday the 13th. Thanks for your help. Please let us know of any issues or problems. Irala K. Magee Director of Scholarship and Grant Administration Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education P.O.

We give academic, athletic, etc. institution scholarships if they qualify but they are not specified as "tuition scholarships." In those cases, do you subtract the amt that exceeds the room and board charge from the tuition and fees amt? or since they are not deemed "tuition scholarships" do you just use the actual tuition and fees as your amount?
