[Oasfaa] Nonterm Programs

[Danielle Cox]

Hello!

I hope everyone is surviving the back to school madness. I am wondering if anyone in the group can speak to having nonterm programs. Our University is considering a potential calendar shift that would cause us to have overlapping terms and, therefore, nonterm programs. I have never dealt with this before. My concern is that this is going to be a very difficult shift for us and that our system (we are a Banner school with zero customizations) is not going to handle the nonterm setup very well. It is my understanding, that nonterm becomes very manual and aid is disbursed on more of a student-by-student basis as they progress... Right now, we have everything very automated and I worry about taking a step backwards. I don't know if this is accurate, but I've been told that since we have no customizations to Banner, it will likely not handle a nonterm setup well.

I have a meeting tomorrow to attempt to further discuss this. My plea is if any of you have experience with nonterm and can help me put together a better case for why this would be a bad move for us, can you send me your experience? I am worried about my staff and attempting to make this shift with limited resources. I think this would be a bad move for us, but I need more information to make that case. My administration continues to say, "other schools are doing it" as their defense. If you are doing it, is it working well??

I appreciate any input that might help me!

We have updated the resource page for OTAG to reflect the changes being implemented this year. The new handbook is available as well as new blank claim forms, record layouts and instructions.

https://www.okhighered.org/admin-fac/FinAidResources/otag.shtml

Remember the regular deadlines are no longer in place; however, we will need to wrap up each semester/term before the next one starts, if possible, and it is important to get all 2022-23 claims submitted before June 30, 2023.

Thank you so much for your patience. Please let us know if you need any assistance or have any questions.
