Summer OSAP

Summer OSAP Eligibility Form

Tyndale students applying for OSAP in the summer semester should complete the Summer OSAP Eligibility Form in FLOW to confirm if their courses meet OSAP eligibility requirements.

OSAP Deadlines

  • Full-Time OSAP: The application must be submitted 60 days before the study period ends, and all supporting documents must be submitted 40 days before the study period ends.
  • Part-Time OSAP: Both the application and all required documents must be submitted 40 days before the study period ends.

Required Documents

If you have previously applied for Part-Time OSAP, you must upload a transcript showing your most recent grades. For example, if you’re currently enrolled in the winter semester, your transcript must include your winter grades. Ensure all documents are uploaded before the deadline.

Part-Time OSAP Scholastic Standards

To remain eligible for Part-Time OSAP, students must successfully complete all courses funded by their OSAP application. Any changes to the course load after enrollment have been confirmed with OSAP are not permitted and will result in a one-semester restriction from Part-Time OSAP. Unless the student applies for Full-Time OSAP in the next semester, they will be responsible for self-funding the following Part-Time term.
