Office of the Vice-President (Students and Enrolment) STUDENT SUCCESS: FINANCES  The Awards and Financial Aid Office were able to improve their batch process for OSAP accounts so that fewer than 5% required manual processing. This freed up time for administrators to process applications received after the pay- ment deadline and getting funds to more students faster than ever.  This term, the Awards and Financial Aid Office was excited to welcome a Car- leton Therapy Dog into the office. Moose is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi who loves adventure and his handler, Tracy, works as a Financial Aid Administrator.
