hi aska,<\/p>\n
I’m a first year student at UofT and I’m planning on transferring to George?Brown next september (2014) to change programs. My parents suggested that I?should not attend school second semester so that we wouldn’t have to pay?for the next semester. So I went to my registrar yesterday (Nov.25) to ask?how i can officially unenroll from next semester and if there’s a way that?I can only pay for the current semester. The counselor told me to just drop?all my courses in ROSI (for next sem AND current sem) and I did. As for the?tuition, little did I know that the refund schedules would be so confusing?but I did get the gist of it and turns out it’s not as simple as just?dividing the tuition by 2. Since I didn’t drop my courses by a certain?date, I still have the majority of the tuition left to pay. The thing is?though, im with OSAP. Will I still be able to receive my second release of?funding in January or do I need to start panicking since I won’t be a?full-time student next sem? The counselor said something about writing a?letter to OSAP? Also, i do plan on attending school again next September so?do I need to worry about repaying OSAP six months from now since im?technically unregistered from UofT?<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n
disclaimer: i’m going to tell you everything i know about this, but as soon as you’re done reading, you need to march yourself over to enrolment services<\/a>?and discuss this with them in detail. going to the registrar was a good move, but enrolment services will be able to tell you the exact next steps needed when it comes to osap and repaying, etc. etc.<\/p>\n you’re very right about your tuition payment not just being a division by two. if you want to know the logic followed when it comes to refunds and things, take a look at this lovely lil’ document<\/a>.<\/p>\n now here’s the part that’s gonna sting<\/a>: you probably won’t receive your second payment because you won’t be a full-time student any more (i told you<\/a>). also, since you’ll be out of school for eight months, you will probably be required to start paying back after the 6 month grace period. i say ‘probably’ because there is a possibility that your payments can be alleviated or suspended entirely for those two months. take a look here<\/a>?and here<\/a>?to explore that – and then once you’ve done that, go and ask enrolment services – and maybe even national loan services<\/a> if need be – about it for a definitive answer, ’cause goodness knows osap’s website is horrible<\/a>.<\/p>\n so, in sum: probs won’t get second payment (i know, osap is a butt. i’ll keep calling it a butt because i try to be pg on this blog), talk to enrolment services, you can maybe apply not to have to start paying the loan back in 6 months’ time, talk to enrolment services, maybe contact national loan services for further information and talk to enrolment services.<\/p>\n best,<\/p>\n aska<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" hi aska, I’m a first year student at UofT and I’m planning on transferring to George?Brown next september (2014) to change programs.
