hi, i’m returning for my second year at uoft. i’ll only be getting 2?credits this year though, so my course enrolment start time is in july. so?i was wondering am i just suppose to wait till after i enrol to apply for?osap? i want to apply for the 30% off mostly, but they tell you to apply as?early as you can. i was just wondering cause i wasn’t on osap last year. i?realize this is sort of a dumb question, like, i assume you enrol in your?courses first, enter your student number (and all the tax form stuff) on?the osap site and that’s how they get the 30% off, by actually seeing your?course load. so its needs to be done in that order. but i just thought i’d?ask, y’know?
???????????????
hey there,
the main thing you have to make sure of is that you apply as early as possible before the deadline to defer payments, which is not the same date as the date you enrol for classes. you don’t need to be enrolled in your courses for the year when you apply for OSAP, just as long as you’ve enrolled in them by the time you actually have to be, y’know, taking classes.
course enrolment isn’t really directly related to applying for OSAP – it’s something OSAP checks up on after you apply, later in the year. the important thing you need to focus on is having your application in well before the deadline to defer payments, which is August 19th at the downtown campus.
cheers,
