To extend your full-time OSAP application for an additional term, you must:
- Have already received full-time OSAP funding for the current Fall and/or Winter terms
- Enrol in courses or, for graduate students, register as active, before proceeding with this extension application
- Be enrolled in a full-time course load for the applicable term
Please note: If you dropped from full-time studies early in your Fall and/or Winter terms, your full-time OSAP application will likely have a calculated overpayment of funds issued to you. This will be deducted from what you receive for the extended term. You may receive little or no OSAP funding.

Before Applying
Before you can apply for OSAP:
- You must know whether you are considered a full-time student or a part-time student for OSAP purposes during the summer session. This determines which OSAP application you should submit.
For undergraduate students, this is determined by the number of credits you are enrolled in, the number of study weeks (including exams) for your summer term, and if you have self-identified as a student with a disability on your OSAP profile.
For graduate students, this is determined by your activity level for the summer session. Contact your program office if you are not sure about your activity level.
- Undergraduate and Graduate students must be enrolled in their summer session before submitting an OSAP aid application.

Application Processing Timelines
- Processing usually takes four to six weeks from the date you submit your summer OSAP application. Documents are reviewed and assessed in the order they are received.
- Processing can take longer if your application has incorrect/incomplete details or supporting documents. Therefore, it is very important that you submit an accurate and complete application. If you check your status on the OSAP website six weeks after applying and still see no indication of a summer assessment, then please contact Student Support and Advising to see if there are problems with your application.
- Because the summer session is short, your time to access summer OSAP funding is very limited. We recommend you apply early to ensure your funding is assessed and issued. OSAP will not issue any funds for students who did not submit the correct OSAP application and all required documents prior to the applicable submission deadline.
