Count and Registration Cleanup

Join us for a Connect+Learn session on Count and Registration Cleanup. The Enrolment Count is performed three times annually by Planning & Budget (P&B) for the internal distribution of funding, enrolment projection, and divisional planning. These statistics are sent to the Ministry of Colleges and Universities to monitor future funding allocations.

This session will guide staff in academic units through the process of interpreting the initial count procedures instructions from P&B. Topics will include:

  • What action to take when you receive the Count Procedures Email Notification from P&B
  • Financial Cancellation (“FINCA”) timelines and procedures
  • ROSI Pre-Count Diagnostics
  • ROSI screens that will be useful for reviewing registration or activity status changes

Staff from Planning & Budget will be presenting this session with the EASI-SIS team.
