Hi,Admittedly I am not the most motivated student. I know that I am smart, but due to certain personal circumstances, I have not been able?to produce grades that are acceptable to OSAP’s standards.? So here’sthe thing: I’m already on OSAP probation since one and a half years ago. I have written letters explaining my situation and the efforts I would make? It was truly a wake-up call for me–no more slacking, no more procrastinating–I really want to turn my life around and start?working hard in school. Should I manage to maintain a decent CGPA by doing well in my courses this S Session, would OSAP still suspend me from receiving OSAP funds in the future? So, basically, even if I get good marks this S Session, because I failed my F Session, would I no longer be eligible for OSAP financial aid…ever? I’m scared (as well I should be) and am owning up to the consequences?of my actions.? Please tell me what will happen to me. FraidyCat |

Hey Fraidy Cat,
This is a little bit of a tricky situation. Technically you took those courses, and paid for them, so according to OSAP you took the required course load, but they will assess your overall course load of passed courses too. So if you take? 5 classes, pass them all , then you have reached your 60% for the year.
Assuming from the fact you said you are not a motivated individual that you did not take 5 courses, you will most likely be suspended. You can challenge the suspension but OSAP can?be bit of a PMS-ing girlfriend, so?you either have to have some?pretty extreme personal situations going or proof you are turning your?life around.
?Give Admissions and Awards a shout or even make an appointment with your academic/financial advisors.
I know <slaps wrist> … sending you to others for information is annoying, but it’s better than giving you the wrong information and you coming after me in my sleep.
forever with one eye open,
