It says January 26 2011 on the site.

edit: the cheque was dated "january 21st", though, so it seems like it was mailed before the date on the OSAP site o__o

I talked to them at the financial aid office. They that we should expect them "within the next couple of weeks." The lady then told me that they were told that it should be released by the end of January and the beginning of February. Not the answer everyone was looking for I assume.

Speaking of OSAP, you can now access the government's new OSAP application if you have a smart phone. As well, starting this year students will be able to apply for OSAP three months earlier.

Here is the MSU news article with more information on it

I emailed financial office and they told me by the end of January.. nothing about mid Feb. x.X Seems they don't know too well what's going on either. I haven't called NSLSC yet but yeah I'll let you guys know what they say when I do call them.

Well, the OSAP website still says March 11, but MUGSI --> OSAP and Govt Assistance says that I've been issued my total amount and it was last updated on Jan 22nd.

I don't have anything in my bank... they BETTER not send that to my permanent address, otherwise I will never see it.

Bleh. Unnecessary stress.

Okay so I was going to call them today but when I checked OSAP funding summary again and it says under aid released to date:
Ontario Access Grant Direct Deposit shown as "P.ONT." Feb 4/11

I provided my bank info when I signed off the second part of my loan this semester so I think anyone who did that should get a direct deposit. If I don't see this money by Feb 4 then I'll make a fuss about it.
