[Oasfaa] 2006-2007 OTAG Awards

[Joyner, Shiela]

Attached for your information is a spreadsheet that reflects each participating institution's 2006-2007 OTAG award totals based on valid Award Claim Forms received by close of business on October 6, which was the deadline for submitting the first fall 2006 Award Claim Forms to OTAG.  The spreadsheet also provides end of year awards data for 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 for your use in comparing with 2006-2007 awards to date.  Awarding cutoff dates applicable to each year appear in red font at the top of the columns.

At this time we ask that participating institutions review their award totals, and if you find that you have additional 2006-2007 awards to submit for approval and payment, that your Award Claim Form be forwarded to the OTAG office without delay.  

If you need a pre-populated Award Claim Form, please send a request to reports at otag.org or call 877.662.6231.

The remaining schedule for fall 2006 is as follows:
*	November 10, 2006: No further requests for awards, or for increases of individual awards already disbursed, for the fall 2006 semester will be accepted after November 10, 2006.  Requests for exceptions due to extraordinary circumstances may be granted only upon approval of the Chancellor for Higher Education and must be submitted in writing to the Chancellor. 
*	November 28, 2006: Institutions shall notify the State Regents of any pending refunds that have not already been returned to the State Regents. 
*	December 1, 2006: The State Regents shall announce any changes in awarding criteria for the Spring 2007 semester.

Be aware that the November 10 final deadline for fall award claims applies not only to new award requests, but also to requests for additional funds to adjust previously disbursed amounts for any of your students.  If you wait until November 10 to submit initial award requests for any of your students, there will not be a later opportunity to request additional funds to accommodate adjustments to their previously disbursed amounts.

Please contact me if you have questions regarding the OTAG deadlines for fall 2006 award claims reporting.
