Understanding CNAS

CNAS enables you to set up parameters your institution uses to calculate a student's financial need. You can set various calculation options at the institution, rule set, and student levels. The system allows you to load data files from the provincial Student Services Bureau, which governs the Ontario Student Assistance Plan (OSAP). The Student Services Bureau holds official eligibility data for the Canada Student Loans Program (CSLP), Canada Study Grant Program for Students with Dependents (CSG), and the Ontario Student Loans Plan (OSLP).
