Can I still apply for OSAP for this 2012 Summer session?
I thought the deadline for OSAP payment was at the end of April. But today I saw on the McMaster Facebook that today is the last day for applications.

On the OSAP site, it says "This application is for full-time students taking a program starting anytime between August 1, 2011 and July 31, 2012." So that means that this application is valid for my summer session, even though I only have term 2 classes, right? And can I still apply even though I already payed off my summer fee balance?

Thanks.

I don't think you can apply for full-time because it's based on the session which includes both spring and summer terms. I think for OSAP you need 60% course load for full-time but with only the 2 classes in the summer term you would only be taking a 50% course load for this session.

That makes sense. So then you would have to apply as a part-time student for this summer's osap funding, OP
