Okay these are questions that probably have been asked before, but I'm just gonna throw them out there.

1. So on my payment agreement it says in the 3rd box that my osap is 'issued'. Is that how its supposed to be?

2. On my OSAP account though, it says I still need to give in my confirmation form :S Anyone know when I'm supposed to get that and if I should get it now to pay my payment agreement by September 1st?

3. For my payment agree I'm probably going to do the OSAP flex plan. When I pay the 60% of my fees by September first does the other 40% interest add up by January?

4. And on a total side note, I can't access SOLAR, sign up for work study programs nor did I get my student card. Is it all because I didn't pay my payment agreements?

1. Yes, it means it'd ready for pick-up.

2. Confirmation of enrolment is done when you pick up your OSAP.

3. Yes, there is interest. Compounded monthly at the end of each month on the outstanding balance.

4. If you didn't confirm your payment agreement, you have to wait until tomorrow to access SOLAR. I don't know about the work study program. For the student card, it gets sent when you've fully registered. I can't remember if that include confirming the payment agreement, but you can check when your confirmation of registration was printed by going to MUGSI, My Academics, Program and Course Summary.

2. Okay so should I pick up my OSAP before the September 1st deadline, or is that done after I start school?

4. It says nothing beside my confirmation of registration ?!

2. Pick up starts in late late August but continues into September (possibly 2nd or 3rd week, check the sfas website for more info: sfas.mcmaster.ca). It doesn't matter if you pick it up before or after, just make sure to pick it up before the general pick-up is done.

4. You should contact McMaster about that. Ask if they've sent out your confirmation of registration. I believe the only thing you need to do to be registered is pick your courses and confirm your payment agreement.
