Hey Aska,
I am an OSAP student, and I realize I have been charged nearly $100 for a “Service chg on outstanding balance”, meaning they accrued interest on my balance after November 1 this fall because I hadn’t paid it off in full. The thing is, I deferred my balance because I am on OSAP. I literally could not pay it off until January (when the rest of my OSAP came in)! How is this fair? Is there anything that can be done? |

Heyo OSAP-er
The reason deferrals exist?are to keep you from being withdrawn from your courses, not to excuse you from interest fees. All students accrue interest on the 15th of every month starting in October. By deferring your fees in September, the faculty keeps you in your classes without making the minimum payments, unlike the student who are not on OSAP.
Unfortunately there is absolutely nothing you can do about these service charges. I’m sure you?can go into the Admissions and Awards and shed a few tears, but they might just stare over your head because they know that?no matter how convincing you are, and how justified your reasonings are, they just can’t reverse those fees.
cheerio darlin’,
