It's been nearly seven weeks since contract faculty at York University walked off the job on strike.
While the labour dispute between the school and the three thousand workers continues on with no end in sight, what about the students being left out in the cold?
York University has come up with several options for students affected.
The school is now offering a tuition credit to students who drop out of their fall/winter program in 2017-2018.
What that does, is allows the student to retake that course, or even enroll in a new course, before the end of 2019 without incurring any additional costs.
The school has set up a window between March 5th and December 31st for the students to make the move, without having an impact on their transcript.
The option is there to finish current courses when the strike ends, but the school says that needs to happen within four weeks. Should the strike last longer than April 23rd, the three regular summer sessions will be reduced down to two. If the strike drags on through May, additional summer sessions may be removed.
Financially, there's also the option to apply for a $1,500 bursary for any additional costs taken on by students.
"They would need to provide reciepts to demonstrate they did take on an extra cost." says school spokesperson Barbara Joy. "A rent receipt for an extended lease period, proof of costs to change travel plans and additional child care costs for parents."
York says they will be sending the information directly to students.
As for the strike, there's no end in sight.
"Our goal now is to get a deal and get the students back on track as quickly as possible." says Joy.
