Basic Information
The award period is defined as the academic year or aid year.
Advanced

Full-time is defined as taking 80% or more of a full course load. Although an award may have full-time requirement, many need-based awards can be allocated to students who meet the OSAP full-time definition.

For OSAP purposes, you’re in full-time studies if you’re taking 60% or more of a full course load. If you have a permanent disability, you may choose to be considered a full-time student if you’re taking at least 40% of a full course load.

For OSAP, a permanent disability is legally defined as a functional limitation caused by a physical or mental impairment that restricts a student ability to perform the daily activities necessary to participate in studies at a postsecondary level or in the labour force and that is expected to remain with you for your expected life.

Part-time is defined as taking less than 80% of a full course load.
If you self-identify with more than one of the following options, please select only one option when searching for awards.
