I don't get it, if you applied to osap the result will be the same with the loan money. You'll also get more interest and grants as well.

most students register 30 credits. you don't want to pay in full, you have to pay a fee of 35$ per term plus interest. but now i registered for only 15 credits and pay that first. Solar will be open again b4 term 2 starts. then register for courses at that time and pay the tuition.

I am not sure if I can do it this or not though~.~
However, I can't get the bus sticker if I am a part time student. I need at least 18 credits.
I can pay tuition in full but I just don't think it's necessary. My parents can make use of the money better than giving to MAC right now

ANYWAY, thanks everyone=]

Do you know what osap is? It pays at least 60% of your tuition (usually) for you up front and you don't have to pay back until you graduate. Definitely a better option than what you are doing right now.

I'm not sure if it's too late to apply for this year though.

Full-time Students: Students registered in at least 24 units of courses are considered full-time students. Students registered in Medicine or Midwifery programs are also considered full-time students.

Part-time Student is an undergraduate student who is registered in fewer than 24 units in the Fall/Winter session, including Extra Courses.
