Student Financial Assistance has launched a new video/presentation as well as virtual Question and Answer Sessions that students can register for if they have general questions regarding student financial assistance.  Note that these are not intended for file specific questions.  Individuals can register by visiting their website and following the relevant links. Prior to registering, student financial assistance is asking the individual to watch a 14-minute pre-recorded presentation titled Student Financial Assistance for Full-Time Post-Secondary Students.

 

This presentation is really well built. It explains the funding programs, eligibility, application and assessment process related to student financial services. A nice resource to share with your students.

New Update~~ Policy 316: Graduation Requirements for a New Brunswick High School Diploma

As of September 2020, grade 10 students will be required to complete 18 credits for graduation in June of 2023, two of which must be Math credits. Numbers, Relations and Functions 10 (NRF) will be considered a credit and will be the pre-requisite for Foundations Math 110 and the Pre-Calculus 110 pathway. Furthermore, grade 10 students wishing to take Financial Workplace Math 110 (FWM 110) will also need to take Financial Workplace Math 120 to graduate in 2023, as the grade 12 FWM will be compulsory for this pathway. Students selecting the FWM pathway are not required to take NRF 10 in grade 10. Depending on scheduling they could opt to take FWM 110 or another grade 11 or 12 course in grade 10 second semester. The grade 11 or 12 course taken in grade 10 will be counted towards credits required for graduation.
