As indicated in the CNA Academic Plan for Fall 2021 (https://www.cna.nl.ca/news/pdfs/academic-plan.pdf), most of the theory and practical portions of the Gander programs are scheduled to be held on-campus. The two programs currently scheduled to be online for the fall are the FYET and Executive Office Management programs. In the meantime, given the global pandemic and the fact that all courses offered by CNA come with online shells for course delivery, it is recommended that all students be prepared with a device for online learning. Information about computer device requirements is available along with the Program Cost form found in this package as well as on the CNA website at (https://www.cna.nl.ca/news/pdfs/Bring-Your-Own-Device-(BYOD)-Program-Booklet.pdf). Information about accessing the D2L environment is also provided in this Orientation Package. You are also encouraged to check out the CNA Distributed Learning site (https://dls.cna.nl.ca/current/accessing_course.shtml) to explore the learning environment as soon as possible. As a student of CNA, you will have access to Office 365 and Webmail. Before classes begin in September, it is recommended that you take advantage of the opportunity to connect to Office 365 (instructions available in this package), and follow-up with any e-mail information provided through your college webmail address (access information also provided in this package). For those using the online learning environment, some instructors may also make use of Microsoft Teams. The following link will give you steps to access this tool: MS Quick start for Students. Students with connection issues are advised to contact Ray Bugden (Computer Support) at 651-4807. Tuition & Fees All tuition fees and payments can be made online or at the Main Office in Student Services. CNA accepts cash, cheque, debit card, Visa, or Mastercard. You will have until Tuesday October 5, 2021 to pay all fees. You will still have to register, however, in order to attend classes. If you are a returning student with outstanding fees, library books, etc., you will not be permitted to register or attend classes until all fees are cleared. Please note, fees are subject to change without notice. The Program Cost form for your program fees is included in this package. You can also obtain a copy from the campus website at http://www.cna.nl.ca/Explore-Our-Campuses/Gander.aspx. MyCNA You can access important up to date information on the MyCNA page. Here you will find information on student governance, career resources, facilities, academic support, personal support, financial support and recreation. Policies and procedures can also be found under the resources tab on the MyCNA site: https://www.cna.nl.ca/MyCNA/. Student Aid For those students interested in applying for Student Loans, you may consult the Student Development Officer at (709) 651-4819, or you may apply online through https://www.gov.nl.ca/education/studentaid/. Health & Dental CNA offers a Health and Dental plan that is compulsory for full-time students enrolled in a program of fifteen (15) weeks or longer. You must indicate your intention for the Health and Dental plan, e.g., opting in or out of enrollment in single or family coverage. Your Health and Dental options must be completed as soon as possible to ensure the proper fees are calculated on your student financial account. Please visit the CNA

website to make the necessary selections to your Health and Dental plan (https://www.cna.nl.ca/MyCna/Personal-Support/Health-and-Dental.aspx.) Note: If you want to opt-out, you will need to provide existing proof of coverage, i.e., policy number, insurance provider, and plan member information, when completing the online request. Failure to update your Health and Dental options during the enrollment period will result in an automatic enrollment in Single Health and Single Dental coverage and the applicable fees will be assessed to your student financial account. The deadline to opt-out of Health and Dental coverage is Tuesday, October 5, 2021. There may also be a black-out period as information is collected and processed. During this period, students should visit the Green Shield site (https://www.greenshield.ca/en-ca/student-centre/north-atlantic-students-cna) for information and to submit claims electronically. For specific inquiries, students may also contact Mary Ellen Alexander at (709) 643-7927 or by e-mail at [email protected]. Bookstore The Bookstore will be open on September 7, 2021 at 8:30am. Keep in mind that the Bookstore is a separate payment desk, so please ensure you have a method of purchasing your books should you need to do so on campus. For a comprehensive program booklist, please see the list included in this package. If they are available, you are encouraged to order electronic versions of your texts through the source indicated on the booklist or through another source (as long as the ISBN# matches the required edition). The electronic books will not be available for purchase on campus. Should you have access to used versions (or alternate electronic versions of a text), you are encouraged to speak with the instructor in the fall to confirm that an alternate text can be used. Personal Protective Equipment Our shops and labs provide users with the ability to function in many varieties of work which contain overhead, respiratory, hearing-related, and/or eye-related hazards. Depending upon the program, hard hats, safety glasses, hearing protection, respirators, and/or work boots may, and in many cases will, be required equipment. Please inquire with lead instructors and your tools lists (included in this package where applicable) before purchasing PPE that may not be suitable for your program. For any program with on-campus practicals and labs, a non-surgical facemask may be required should Public Health Restrictions in the province continue to require it. Accessibility Services If you are a student with a disability, and you will require services and supports from Accessibility Services, you are encouraged to start the application process early. Early planning can help you avoid any delays in starting your program or in accessing the services and supports you will need. If, for example, you require adaptive equipment, alternate format texts or interpreting services, at least three-months notice may be needed to ensure availability at the start of your program. For Gander Campus students, contact should be made with the Accessibility Services Coordinator (Ivan LeDrew at [email protected]) or the Resource Facilitator (Kerry Harris at [email protected]).

• Please follow any directional arrows provided and maintain physical distancing with a 6-foot distance.

• As per current Public Health Restrictions, all students, employees, and visitors should be prepared to bring

a non-surgical mask whenever they are on campus. These masks are to be worn in common areas and any time physical distancing should be deemed impossible. Regulations on mask requirements are subject to change at any time depending upon Public Health Restrictions surrounding COVID-19 protocols.

• As of now, common areas such as the Library and Cafeteria will be open to student use.

• If you are exhibiting any signs or symptoms of COVID-19, please stay home and contact 811.

• As with the current Public Health Restrictions in place in the province, any on-campus requirements and/or

Need money to go to school? Maybe Student Aid can help! With a combination of loans and grants available from both the Federal and Provincial governments, funding may be available to help cover the costs of your schooling.

Here is how it works With one application you will be assessed to determine if you qualify for any funding.

You just need to:

1. Set up an account at www.gov.nl.ca/studentaid; 2. Complete the online application; and 3. Submit all required forms and documentation.

Once everything is submitted, you will be assessed to determine funding amounts. Student Aid staff can help guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have.

More detailed information on funding and the application process is available on our website.

Eligibility You are eligible for student financial assistance if you meet all of these basic eligibility criteria: Canadian citizen, permanent resident, protected person Permanent resident of Newfoundland and Labrador Valid Canadian social insurance number Have demonstrated financial need Previous student loans in good standing Pass a credit check (22 years or older) Pursuing studies at a designated educational institution and enrolled in a program of study leading to a

degree, diploma or certificate that is at least 12 weeks long Note: You can only receive funding from one province.
