This means that during this time, borrowers will not be required to make any loan payments and interest will not accrue on their OSAP loans. Borrowers can still make one-time payments via their online account or online banking if they want to repay their loans faster. Payments during this period will go entirely towards their loan principal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab\u00a0Students and their families make great sacrifices to attend postsecondary education and it is incumbent on us to do everything we can to ensure this academic year is not put in jeopardy,\u00a0\u00bb said Minister Romano. \u00ab\u00a0I want to thank our postsecondary institutions for their leadership in adopting alternative ways for students to study and take exams, while ensuring they practice physical distancing and stay safe.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To ensure students can successfully complete the academic year, Ontario has finalized an agreement with eCampusOntario to make digital learning supports available to postsecondary institutions. These interim digital learning supports, available in both French and English, will provide publicly-assisted colleges and universities with the technology they need to conduct year-end assessments, while preserving student privacy and the integrity of academic assessment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ontario will work with other partners who may be interested in offering digital learning, such as Indigenous Institutes and private career colleges. Supports will be accessible on an as-needed basis and limited to those courses and programs where formal exams are required.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The province is also distributing $25 million in additional funding to publicly-assisted colleges, universities and Indigenous Institutes to help address each institution&rsquo;s most pressing needs in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak such as deep cleaning, purchasing medical supplies or offering mental health supports.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<section class=\"newsFacts\">\n<h4>Additional Resources<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.csnpe-nslsc.canada.ca\/\">NSLSC.ca<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.canada.ca\/student-financial-assistance\">www.canada.ca\/student-financial-assistance<\/a>\u00a0for more details on student financial assistance.<\/li>\n<li>Visit Ontario&rsquo;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/page\/2019-novel-coronavirus\">website<\/a>\u00a0to learn more about how the province continues to protect Ontarians from COVID-19.<\/li>\n<li>Learn about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/travel.gc.ca\/travelling\/health-safety\/travel-health-notices\">travel advisories<\/a>\u00a0related to the 2019 novel coronavirus.<\/li>\n<li>If you are a health care professional, learn how to protect yourself and your patients by reading our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.health.gov.on.ca\/en\/pro\/programs\/publichealth\/coronavirus\/2019_guidance.aspx\">guidance documents<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<p>Original News Release found <a href=\"https:\/\/news.ontario.ca\/maesd\/en\/2020\/03\/province-supports-postsecondary-students-during-covid-19.html?utm_source=ondemand&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=p\">HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 31, 2020 9:00 A.M. &nbsp;
