Do I get a bus pass or compensation to travel to my placement?

No, only students that have already been approved for a bus pass through demonstrating financial hardship with the school administration will receive a bus pass.

Every effort will be made to find a placement within walking distance of Colonel By. If the placement that the student desires is beyond walking distance, the student will need to arrange their own transportation to and from the placement.

Compensation for travel is available to OYAP students whose placements are beyond 4 kms from Colonel By. Only after the student is approved for OYAP and has filled out the associated paperwork, will he/she receive this compensation.
