OSAP Reviews
OSAP uses “standard” assessment criteria when determining your OSAP funding but there are some review options available to address specific situations that may not have been considered in the original assessment. The list below is not a comprehensive list of review options; if you feel you have unusual circumstances that may not have been taken into consideration in your initial OSAP assessment and this is causing financial hardship, please speak with someone in the Student Awards/Financial Aid Office to discuss your options. Here are some of the more common reviews which students have requested in the past:
If your vehicle is worth >$5000 and you must use it to drive to out of town placements or you cannot commute to campus by bus or you must drive children to daycare
If your spouse is remaining in another community maintaining a residence and you have moved here to a temporary residence
Payments made toward previous OSAP loans can be counted as an “exceptional expense”
If you are unable to save the amount expected by OSAP from your pre-study earning because of certain exceptional expenses
If you are able to live at home and commute to school but pay room and board to parents
If one or both of your parents’ income will be significantly lower in the current year because of a non-recurring situation, you may request that your funding be reassessed using the current year’s income
If a married student’s spouse’s income will be significantly lower in the current year because of a non-recurring situation, you may request that your funding be reassessed using the current year’s income
In certain circumstances (resulting in a serious and permanent break in the relationship between a student and parent(s)), parental information may not be required
When a “custodial” parent remarries, in some circumstances the step-parent’s information may not be required
OSAP allows a certain amount for local transportation; if you are commuting regularly to/from campus and your residence is more than 40km from campus (or there is no public transit), you may request assistance for additional travel costs
OSAP assumes that “dependant” students will live with their parents if the parental home is <40 km from campus; however, if there is no public transit from home to campus OSAP may waive this requirement and allow higher living costs
OSAP Supplemental Forms
If you have been placed on OSAP Academic Progress Warning, you must complete this form as supporting documentation for your application to process
If you are taking a course through LOP, you may request that the costs associated with the course be included in the assessment of your funding
If you are studying on exchange, you must make arrangements for someone to process your OSAP on your behalf, using BOTH of these (PDF) forms
Report any changes to income throughout the academic year
