Hi,
I did horribly in my first year and ended up on both academic and OSAP probation as a result of my grades. Probation was a wakeup call, so I made a lot of changes and achieved significantly better grades this year. Unfortunately however my CGPA remains below 1.50 so I will be continuing on probation. Will my continued probation status affect OSAP? I am unsure as to whether or not OSAP will continue to grant loans to me because I did not clear my probation by the end of this session. Will I need to write letters to them again about my situation and progress, or will I simply be denied further funding?
Thank you for your time!

Hey hey
To be clear, UofT probation and OSAP probation are two separate things.
I’m sure you know how they both work since you’ve dealt with the two in a previous year, so as long as you’re at least meeting the requirements for OSAP, nothing should really change for you. As far as I understand, you’re just going to be writing your letter with every application, so no big change.
Basically, a student can go through their four years of university with a steady and unfortunate CGPA of say 1.5, and maybe go in and out of academic probation but never actually see the dark side that is OSAP probation. While UofT looks at specific grades, OSAP just cares about where you pass or fail.
So if you did well enough this year that you met the pass-three-courses-per-term requirement, your OSAP letter writing process will just be the same as always.
But if you HAVE been suspended by OSAP, I’m sure they’d contact you! So just get started on your next letter cuz I’m pretty sure you’re fine. 🙂
Cheers!
