I have a few questions that need to be cleared up!!!!!

1) I read somewhere that OSAP was being released from September 2nd to September 5th only!!! I haven't picked it up yet because i thought they would be going to the 12th! Can some one help me out, what do i do now, do i not get this money? I coulda swore they were releasing OSAP till September 12th....

2) It says bring students own banking information....howeve r i have a void cheque from my father to put the money in there, is this allowed or does it have my very own banking information???

Someone please help me cuz im freaking out right now about this date to pick it up and wheather or not i can use my dads void cheque to put the money in there, i live too far from home to get another cheque...if i can get the money at all.

I'm not sure about the check, my guess is that it's allowed but that's just my guess. More importantly OSAP pick-up DOES continue after the fifth, so don't worry.

They give you the option of OSAP directly depositing to McMaster; so that there is no fuss of transferring from your dad's account to your students account.

Ok thanks...but i dont want to deposit it to McMaster right now, i want to buy my books and stuff with it, i want to use it for stuff other than tuition.

And where do i pick up OSAP, i thought it was Gilmour Hall but now apparently its MUSC?

You could use your student card to buy books, so the OSAP is basically "paying" for the books on your student account. For me, I went to the Student Centre, 3rd floor. There are long lines, so prepare to wait.

I went sometime around noon and there was no line... although a few minutes later the line got really long...
