Hi aska,
I have just finished first year and I have made bad decisions throughout?this whole year and I have regretted every decision. A good girl, straight?A’s from high school I apply as a fulltime student with 5 credits however?whenever a class seemed to hard or I messed up on my midterm, I was happy?to solve it by dropping it :)…well that was the biggest mistake of my?life :(. Second semester comes and goes and I have failed 2 of my classes?which leaves me with 2.5 credits and on Rosi it has said that I am?financially cancelled (OSAP) and that I am now part time status. What the?hell am I suppose to do now? I had completely forgot that I needed to?maintain 3 credits and now I have to pay OSAP back for failing to meet 60%?course load so I found a job so i can pay them pay. My question has to do?with my part time status…I know I messed up but I have learned from my?mistakes to not drop a course because it became harder but to seek extra?help, so does that mean when it comes time to enrolling in courses for?september I am going to be regarded as part time? How can I change my?status to full time for 2nd year and so that osap can see that i am?enrolling as fulltime and not part-time? help me please I don’t know who to?contact for this parttime fulltime mess!

Yo.
Sooooo I suppose you didn’t stay in enough classes to know how to divide things into paragraphs huh?
Anyway, the time you enrol in courses is based on the number of credits you have, not whether you’re “part-time” or “full-time.” Now since you ended the year with only 2.5 FCE, you’ll be enrolling with the first year students (0 to 3.5 credits) on July 30.
Becoming full-time is simple. Just enrol in a full course load. As long as you take anywhere over 3.0 FCE, you’re considered full-time, and as long as you actually do so, OSAP should know you’re full-time when you hand in whatever forms you need to into Enrolment Services.
It’s really as easy as taking the right number of courses.
And, of course, passing them. 😉
Cheers!
