When applying for OSAP aid you provide personal and financial information that is used to determine your eligibility and funding entitlement.
If this information changes during the academic session in which you receive OSAP assistance, then you are responsible to notify the University so that we can update the information on your OSAP record. These changes may increase, decrease, or not affect your funding entitlement.
Complete the appropriate form below: you must sign and date all forms and any supporting documentation. All forms and any supporting documentation must be uploaded to your OSAP application under Required documents (print/upload), "Go to optional uploads". Do not submit duplicate forms. This will cause processing delays.
It will take eight to 10 weeks to process your change request. If the change(s) impacts your entitlement, then you will be notified by the government. You can also check your status on the government OSAP website to see if the change has been completed.
