2014 Premier’s Awards and Minister’s Lifetime Achievement Award How to: Upload nominations to Colleges Ontario’s FTP site Three (3) weeks before the nomination deadline, the contact at each college who is responsible for nominations will receive an e-mail invitation to join a private folder for his/her college on Colleges Ontario’s FTP site. The contact will be asked to upload all nomination forms, nominee photographs and release forms. The FTP site is a secure place to upload large files. Please note: Nomination forms, nominee photographs and release forms will be accepted only via this FTP site. They will not be accepted by e-mail or any other format. Please follow the instructions below to upload your nomination documents. You may choose to try uploading a document using the FTP site before the nomination deadline to ensure you are comfortable using the system. Should you have any questions about uploading to the FTP site, please contact Tiina Higgins at 647-258-7678 or higgins@collegesontario.org. Step 1: You will receive an e-mail similar to the one below, granting you access to your college’s folder. Click on the grey bar that reads “Click here to activate your account and view this folder”. Step 2: After clicking on the link, you will be prompted to create your own password which you will use going forward to log in to the folder. Click “Save” to continue. If you navigate away from this page without creating your password, you will be e-mailed a code which you will use to get back into the folder via the link in blue above in the original e-mail invitation to the folder. You will then be prompted to create your password. 1|Page 2014 Premier’s Awards and Minister’s Lifetime Achievement Award How to: Upload nominations to Colleges Ontario’s FTP site Step 3: Before uploading files, please create subfolders for each of your nominees in order to keep all of the documents organized.

Additional information:      You must receive an e-mail invitation to the folder before you are able to log in and upload files. Each college only has access to its folder and cannot view other college’s nominations. Colleges Ontario has set-up the folders so that each time an upload is made, Tiina Higgins will be notified. Please expect a confirmation e-mail from Tiina to verify the nominations that have been submitted for your college. More than one person from each college can have access to your college’s folder. Please e-mail Tiina at Higgins@collegesontario.org to request access for additional users. 5|Page
