Will my OSAP be affected if I withdraw from my program?

• If you withdraw from your program before your OSAP funds are released, the college will automatically close your OSAP application, and there are no consequences to your withdrawal. 
• If you withdraw from your program after your funding has been received, the college will adjust your file, and you may be placed on OSAP probation or restriction. At this point, we would strongly advise you to return your OSAP funding to the National Student Loans Service Centre.

What happens if I withdraw from a course?

If you withdraw from a course, as long as you maintain a 60% course load (40% for students with a permanent disability), you will remain eligible for full-time OSAP. Your course load on your OSAP application may need to be updated, which may trigger some changes to your OSAP funding. If your course load falls below the minimum requirement, you are no longer eligible for full-time OSAP funding, and your OSAP application will be withdrawn.
