                  TERMS AND CONDITIONS - SCHOLARSHIP/FELLOWSHIPS/AWARDS

                                  GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

A. General Terms and Conditions

To accept the offer of a Ryerson scholarship, fellowship or award, you must agree to these terms and
conditions by signing and returning one copy to your Program Administrator. If you are an incoming
student, you must also accept your Offer of Admission by the confirmation deadline, or the funding offer
will be withdrawn.

An offer of Ryerson funding is not transferable to another graduate program.

Registration: You must maintain full-time enrolment, be actively engaged in full-time academic pursuits
and be in attendance in your current graduate program at Ryerson during every month of the term in
which you have received a payment. Should you withdraw, transfer to part-time status or fail to complete
the term, you will be required to repay the award. Funds must be returned for any term(s) in which you
are not enrolled.

Completion, Withdrawal, Interruption, Leave of Absence: If you anticipate completing your program,
withdrawing, interrupting or taking a leave of absence from your full-time academic studies during the
term of your award for any reason, you must notify your Program Administrator as soon as possible so
that Ryerson can make these adjustments in a timely manner. In the case of withdrawal, you must also
proceed with the withdrawal process.

Withdrawal during a term in which a graduate student has received a Ryerson scholarship, fellowship or
award will require repayment of this funding based on the Ryerson University tuition refund policy:

   i.       Full repayment if withdrawal occurs before the final date to withdraw and be eligible for full
            refund of fees.
   ii.      50% repayment if withdrawal occurs before the final date to withdraw and be eligible for 50%
            refund of fees.
   iii.     No repayment required if withdrawal is after the 50% refund withdrawal deadline date.
   iv.      OGF and Rogers Fellowship: You must maintain full-time enrolment and attendance in your
            program at Ryerson during EVERY MONTH of the term in which you have received a payment.
            Should you withdraw, transfer to part-time status or fail to complete the term, you will be
            required to repay the OGF or Rogers Fellowship. Award holders who complete their degree
            requirements (e.g. submit/defend their thesis, complete their courses, etc.) will continue to
            receive their award until the end of their current term.
Scholarship/Fellowship/Award Renewal: A scholarship/fellowship/award is only tenable for the period
defined in the offer. At the Master’s level, award recipients will automatically be considered for funding
in the second year of a two-year program (funding offered would vary in duration from one term to three
terms based on the expected time to completion associated with the program). At the Doctoral level,
award recipients will automatically be considered for funding in subsequent years (one to two years in
addition to the funding offered in the first year).

OSAP: If you apply for OSAP, please do not declare your RGF, RISS, OGF or RGDA funding amount on your
OSAP application as Ryerson does this on your behalf. If your funding changes in any way throughout the
academic year - whether it is reduced, increased, rescinded or otherwise altered in any way - you must
notify Ryerson's Financial Assistance Department (via the ServiceHub) as soon as possible.

Employment: You may accept research or graduate teaching assistantships, or other employment up to
an average of 10 hours per week or 130 hours per term or 390 hours per academic year. You must
maintain full time academic enrolment.
