Informs the Ministry of Colleges and Universities (MCU) that you are enrolled in post-secondary studies and releases your OSAP funding
Completed on a per-semester basis (fall/winter/summer) for students that have a complete OSAP application
Students must check their OSAP account frequently to ensure their application is ready for the confirmation of enrolment process
This process starts approximately 10 days before the start of each semester
Once enrolment is confirmed, any remaining funding not remitted to your student account will be deposited into your bank account 5 to 10 days later by the National Student Loan Service Centre (NSLSC)
Students studying in the fall and winter semesters will have 60% of their funding released in the fall semester and 40% in the winter semester
Remitting Funds for Your Student Account
OSAP funding is remitted directly to the campus each semester during the confirmation of enrolment process to assist in paying your student account
Student accounts that have enough OSAP funding to cover the outstanding account balance require no further payment
If you have more OSAP funding than is required to pay your student account, the remainder will automatically go to your bank account
Accounts paid in full at the time of confirmation of enrolment will not have funds remitted
If you do not have enough OSAP funding to pay your balance in full, the Financial Aid Office will email you how much is still owed by the payment deadline
The $500 registration deposit is not covered by your OSAP funding and must be paid from your own funds
