Awards, Scholarships and Other Financial Assistance Sources
Awards and scholarships won by a student for outstanding achievement in competition with other scholars are considered as incentive income and do not affect the computation of assistance benefits to the student.
All students funded under the Post Secondary Student Support Program have the responsibility of informing the Kitigan Zibi Education Council administration office if they are receiving financial assistance from other sources. This may affect the level of funding they are entitled to receive.
Students must immediately inform the Kitigan Zibi Education Council administration office if they terminate their studies or if for some reason they have received over or non-justified payment of financial assistance. Failure to promptly inform the Kitigan Zibi Education Council administration office of this situation will result in the student owing the Kitigan Zibi Education Council all over or non-justified funds received. Furthermore, all funds owed will have to be fully repaid before future post secondary funding is provided.
Counselling Services
A student participating in the post-secondary student support program can expect to have two sources of academic and general counselling. Firstly, the counselling services which are available to all students enrolled in institutions of higher learning. Secondly, counselling services available at the Kitigan Zibi School.
Student Appeals
Should any student be concerned that the preceding regulations and guidelines have not been fairly applied to his or her situation, the student may appeal to the Kitigan Zibi Education Council for a review of the situation. Appendix VI must be completed and returned to:
Chairperson
Kitigan Zibi Education Council
41 Kikinamage Mikan
Maniwaki, Quebec
J9E 3B1
The Kitigan Zibi Education Council shall provide a written response no later than 20 working days from the receipt of the appeal.
Should the student not be satisfied with the decision of the Kitigan Zibi Education Council , the student may appeal to the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg Band Council for review of the stated decision. The decision of the Band Council shall be final and binding.
Probation 1:
The Kitigan Zibi Education Council will place a student on probation if such student is not successful in 75% of their course load. The student must provide a letter from their course professor(s), indicating their regular attendance and participation for every course NOT succeeded under the minimum 12 credit hours. Additionally, the student will be required to sign an agreement with the Education Council indicating their commitment to attend school and meet all requirements. (Appendix VII) NOTE: Students who do not fail 75% of their courses but who fail a course under the twelve credit hours will not be put on probation but will be required to submit a letter to explain the failure.
Probation 2:
The Kitigan Zibi Education Council will determine if the reasons given by the student are adequate for authorization of continued funding. Should the Education Council determine that the student is to be given a second opportunity, after being put on Probation 1, an agreement between the student and the Kitigan Zibi Education Council will be signed to ensure that the student takes advantage of tutors, faculty advisors and study skill lectures. Should no improvement be demonstrated by the end of the next semester, the student will be denied funding for one semester (Fall or Winter).
The student who wishes to reapply for post secondary funding after the 1 semester probation where no funding is provided, shall be required to provide written proof that they have taken the initiative to meet with a Guidance/Career Counselor to discuss their program/career orientation. Additionally, the student must personally meet with the post secondary program clerk when making the application.
Probation 3:
If a student, who was asked to withdraw for one calendar year, returns to class a subsequent or future semester and again does not succeed in 75% of the courses undertaken, such student may be denied funding for two calendar years, and is put on Probation 3. Furthermore, the student is required to provide all necessary documentation indicating they were in full time attendance and completed assignments as required.
The student who wishes to reapply for post secondary funding after a probation period of up to 2 years without funding, shall be required to provide written proof that they have taken the initiative to meet with a Guidance/Career Counselor to discuss their program/career orientation. Additionally, the student must personally meet with the post secondary program clerk when making the application.
