7
Not sure you want OSAP?

• You sure? Okay then.
• Interest free status you make no payments, no
  interest accrues
• Continuation of Interest Free Status Form (CIFS)
  Glendon, September
• IF there is a delay in getting your OSAP in the
  fall, fill in one of these forms too!

8
Timing is everything
Simple fact OSAP is for full time students Full
time 9 credits per term ( 6 for students with
disabilities) Example September Bill
has 3 year long courses

• Bill drops one 6 year credits course November
  10th.
• He adds a 3 credit winter course Nov 10th
• No OSAP funding Nov 10 to Jan 3 ( cause part
  time)

• Bill drops one 6 credit course Jan 3rd
• He adds a winter course Jan 4th
• Still full time, gets OSAP for both terms

Remember-Ask us, if you are in doubt about
dropping a course

Honesty is the best policy

• Changements à votre charge de cours
• Financial changes
• Status changes ( independent, divorced,
  married..)
• Fill in change forms on MyGlendon website and
  drop them off to us

10
Overawards / Trop-versés

• OSAP says they gave you too much money
• 1st time, aucun problème
• 2nd time you pay back the overaward before they
  give you more OSAP
• Due usually to income changes, course load
  changes
• Our advice if the first over award is small,
  pay it back to keep a clean slate

11
Full Restriction

• The thing you NEVER want to see
• OSAP restricts you from applying for 5 years (
  Yes, you will probably be done by then!)
• Normalement cest parce que vous avez oublié de
  mentionner largent que vous avez gagné pendant
  lannée scolaire.

12
Academic probation

• Not the same as Glendons academic probation
• Means not successfully completing at least 18
  credits or multiple programme switches, or being
  in 1st year for 3 years
• Can get OSAP when on probation, but if you are
  not successful a second time, then you pay for
  school in the future, not OSAP

13
Programmes déchange

• Official programme with York or Glendon
• Apply for OSAP through Glendon exchange
  code
• Not official exchange programme
• Apply through university you are going to.
  If it is recognized by OSAP.

14
Les embûches à éviter

• Wrong answer regarding residency
• Revenue pendant la période détudes

15
More potholes

• Income what to put in, what NOT to put in.
• Use the green hyperlinks!

16
Even more potholes!

• NSLSC doesnt know you are in school full time
• Programme code (Glendons not Yorks!)
• OSOG (do your taxes!)
