all the best, my surgical warrior

hey there

i’m probably going to have relatively major surgery at the end of the summer so i’m probably going to have to take off a semester to heal. do i have to do anything for this? like do i have to notify someone or do something special or do i just only choose winter courses during course selection??

thanks!!!

hey there,

yo, firstly: good luck on your surgery! i hope it goes as smoothly as possible, and that your recovery is super-quick.*

there’s nothing really official you have to do. if you’re a downtown student/your campus has yearlong courses, then you’re going to have to do enrolment in august anyway, so just make sure to only enrol in winter term courses. in this case, your course load means you will probably be paying part-time fees, because you’ll most likely be taking few enough courses that you have part-time status (i can’t say for sure – if you want to know for sure, talk to your college registrar).

if you’re at UTSC, which i believe goes on a trimesterly basis, then you’ll do your enrolment for january and not september – though i’m not sure if that will involve any kinda formal process, so talk to your registrar’s office about it to make sure.

as well, if you’re out of school for more than 6 months, you’ll have to start paying OSAP back (if you have OSAP) after the 6 months is up, unless you can get continuation of interest-free status. so either talk to the NSLC or make sure you’re prepared to make a few months’ payments, if you’ll be out of class for more than 6 months (remember the summer is included in that).

if you’re unsure about any of this stuff, just talk to your college/school registrar’s office about it, and they should be able to walk you through everything.

best,

aska

*also, while you’re at the hospital, see if you can tease a free lollipop outta the doctors. they’re always up for that.

    They should charge you per-course/part-time for your winter semester. I went abroad for the fall semester and returned to classes in the winter one year, and that’s what happened to me. But things could have changed, so feel free to double-check. And the OSAP thing is correct too.
