Hi! I have a question about OSAP. Last semester I took 4 courses and I failed one, and this semester I took 4 courses but I dropped 2 because they were too hard for me. I believe I’m on OSAP probation but I only received a letter telling me to start repaying the loans 6 months from now. I plan to take 3 courses (2.0credits) in the summer session. Is it still possible for me to apply for OSAP?<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Oh, you frivolous toddlers, will you ever listen to the dry bureaucratic stipulations recited before you every time you engage in some sort of institutional procedure? “be sure to notify admissions and awards if there’s any change to your course load”, “if your income has increased, indicate it on this form”, and so on and so forth. But usually we disregard all that boring official rambling, an eye-shutting attitude that later boomerangs right back at us.<\/p>\n But hey, I’m no better, so I guess I’ll stop with the wrist slapping for now.<\/p>\n So, according to the online info I found, if a student fails to meet the academic requirements for osap, s\/he “is put on OSAP probation; remains eligible for OSAP during the probationary period of 1 study period”. <\/strong>I guess this means summer session as well. Just remember you need to “maintain satisfactory academic status in all <\/span>subsequent study periods to maintain OSAP eligibility”. <\/strong><\/p>\n My hunch is that ?study period’ is referring to session, which in your case includes the summer session you’re about to take. So I guess this means you can’t screw this one up, cause if you do you’ll lose all your osap rights.<\/p>\n I would ***strongly*** advise you to meet with your registrar’s office’s financial counselor asap, and discuss your situation with him\/her. And for pete’s sake, start reading the fine print!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi! I have a question about OSAP.
