i'm hoping they won't do any more denials since it seems like they've already done a fair bit...but then again, who knows!

im restraining from checking mugsi like every 5 minutes, is so pathetic :(

Looks like the F stands for "account credited". Because a decision has been made I think it's just a placeholder, don't worry about it (yet).

I'm still waiting too. I'm getting nervous because I made some changes resulting in an OSAP reassessment within the last week - so I don't know if I'm one of those "overpayment" people. I don't think it's fair if I were to be denied because I got reassessed for $200 less entitlement, even though my actual need is WAY more than the $2500 minimum (almost 4x).

I feel all ya guys. I'm still being assessed as well. Could it though, have something to do with when you submitted your application? As in, the people who have received theirs submitted it in September/early October, or something along those lines.

For reference: mine went in on November 1.

Mine was submitted on September 26 and it is still being assessed. I am expecting to be denied because my OSAP loan for the year was $1234 :(

EDIT: As of 12:42 AM Jan 30, I got some money. Yay for money to pay off my loan...!

Mine is still being assessed as well. Does anyone want to disclose how much they have gotten?

[brownj42]

The university is under a lot of stress right now. In fact, new this year, it has asked the ancillary services to contribute 2% of their revenue for 2010-2011 and 3% 2011-2012 and forward to the university operations. The ancillary operations hit by this are.

Hospitality Services
Housing and Conference Services
Student Health Services
Printing
Parking
Telecommunications
Continuing Education
Miscellaneous

The information can be found on page 6-7 of "Guidelines for Preparation of Budgets by Ancillary Departments for the fiscal years 2010/2011, 2011/2012, and 2012/2013 at.
http://www.mcmaster.ca/bms/pdf/ancilguide11.pdf

I am not sure if I agree with this but it is what it is. That being said, with all this extra revenue, the university should be a little more generous next year in bursaries than I presume they will be this year.
