if I pay my minimum fee myself because osap hasn’t processed yet, will they reimburse me? hasn’t osap policy changed so it goes directly to the school? I can manage to scrounge up enough to pay the minimum fee but I’m scared they wont reimburse me<\/p>\n

hi!<\/p>\n

first, let me apologize for how late this response is. i’m not sure if this will still be relevant to you since the minimum fee deadline has passed, but i’ll answer anyways for future reference.<\/p>\n

you’re right; OSAP will now go to u of t directly and be applied to whatever outstanding fees that you have for that specific term. whatever is left over after it’s paid u of t will be sent to the bank account that OSAP has on file. so, you should be reimbursed if you paid your fall fees out of pocket.<\/p>\n

according to enrollment services’ OSAP FAQ page<\/a>, they will only “use the account balance for fall 2018 to calculate the amount of OSAP to send to u of t in september.” if you’ve “already paid your fall tuition and fees before your OSAP is received, your OSAP would not be redirected” to u of t. the info is pretty hard to find and their wording is really really confusing, so i don’t blame any confusion you may have. to be honest, it took me multiple read-throughs to get what they were saying. (to the tune of that high school musical song:\u00a0we’re all confused together!<\/em>)<\/p>\n

\"high<\/p>\n

if you have any other OSAP related questions or if you’re still confused about what i laid out above, you should get in contact with enrollment services.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

i hope this helps, and sorry again for the delay!<\/p>\n
