Osap!!!
On my payment agreement, it indicates that I have a 0.00 balance, which I understand it to mean that I do not owe the school any money. However, apart from scholarships, my OSAP loans were deducted from my tuition. I was just wondering, do I still have to go to the financial aid office to pick up my OSAP loan certificates?

Yes, you still have to pick up your OSAP to forward it to McMaster. Pick-up is in CIBC Hall on the 3rd floor of MUSC.

My account balance is 0.00, but it doesnt say anything about Osap, scholarships or anything! Why isnt my $6000+ tuition on my account statement? Even if my 60% osap got forwarded already I would still owe $1000+ why isnt it there?

If you are talking about Account Statement, it should be divided into 2 at the moment. The first part is your Student Account Balance (should be 0) and the second part is your payment agreement balance.

The line that says Payment Agreement (last confirmed version) is blank, not even 0.00, just blank, not a grey box either.

Have you confirmed your payment agreement at least once?

Yes I have... should I be worried?
Also, since I was told that my Osap would be paid to McMaster 1 week after its released on Sept 9, does that mean Ill accumulate interest? Im going to pay the remainder in the next couple days

Possibly, contact Student Accounts and Cashiers tomorrow.

No, if you selected OSAP as a payment option in your payment agreement then you won't be charged a late fee or interest.

Yeah, if you select OSAP as a payment option then you are telling McMaster you'll forward the September pick-up to them. So they automatically deduct the amount from your tuition. You have to pick up OSAP during the regular pick-up times though (or the early pick-up times).
