OSAP and Full time/part time question
How does the OSAP get affected if you had five courses in term 1 and cancelled one whereas changed from 5 to 3 courses next term? Will that make you part time and ineligible to receive osap or revoke the remaining OSAP allocation?

How many courses per term count as 60% of the course load?

Also will I be become a part time student if I take 3 courses now but had 5 in the previous term BUT cancelled one of them?

What happens if I change to 6 courses from 5 for this term will osap give me more money or will i have to pay for the extra course myself?

As long as you have 18 units overall for this academic year (september 2013 ~ april 2014), you are considered to be a full time student and will be funded as one through osap. You will have to go to financial aid and tell them how many courses you dropped, which will probably lead to you getting less osap (for the second semester) or having to return some of it if you already got it all.

I believe 9 units per term count as 60% course load.

Somebody correct me if i'm wrong with any of this information. If not
