Native Studies • Boards who reported Native Study Credits on their 07/08 Revised Estimates were sent a worksheet to complete with course details. • Boards were asked to submit this worksheet to Mark Bonham who would input it into the Enrolment Verification System. • The Ministry will be validating this information with an OnSIS report in the near future. • Any significant differences between the OnSIS report and the board’s worksheet will be reviewed.
Completion of Enrolment Confirmation • “Enrolment and Language Allocation” report will be signed off by Finance Officers before feeding the data to EFIS for inclusion in the 2007-08 Financial Statements. • On completion of review, a confirmation letter with a copy of the “Enrolment and Language Allocation” report will be sent to boards’ SBOs.
