OSAP Application for 2023-2024 Now Open
Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP)
Registration
When you have paid your tuition deposit and paid or the full balance of your tuition fees, you will be able to register when registration opens each term.
You will need to ensure you register for the minimum number of credits to meet the required course load for your OSAP funding:
- Full-time OSAP application – minimum of 60 per cent of a full semester course load (or minimum 40 per cent of a 100 per cent course load for students with a documented permanent disability).
- Part-time OSAP application – between 20 and 59 per cent of a full semester course load.
To be confirmed for full-time OSAP funding, full-time students are required to remain enrolled in a minimum 60 per cent of a 100 per cent semester course load during their OSAP-funded study period (or minimum 40 per cent of a 100 per cent course load for students with a permanent disability).
- Log in to MyHumber > Student > Academic Progress;
- Review the courses required for your semester and the credits per course by hovering over or clicking on each course code;
- Add the credits for each course in your upcoming semester to find the total number of credits required for that semester.
- If you register for every course, you will be enrolled in a 100 per cent course load.
- If you do not register for every course required in your upcoming semester, only add up the credits for each course you plan to register for. Divide that amount by the total number of credits required for the semester to find your course load percentage. See the examples below.
Example 1:
If a semester requires six (6) courses and each course is three (3) credits, the total number of credits for the semester will be 18. lf you register for four (4) courses, you will be taking 12 out of 18 credits. This means you have a 66 per cent course load and are considered eligible for full-time OSAP funding.
| Courses | Credits Per Course |
| Course 1 | 3 credits |
| Course 2 | 3 credits |
| Course 3 | 3 credits |
| Course 4 | 3 credits |
| Course 5 | 3 credits |
| Course 6 | 3 credits |
| Total | |
| 4 courses | 12 credits (12/18 = 66%) |
Example 2:
If a semester requires six (6) courses and five (5) of the courses are three (3) credits and one is six (6) credits, the total number of credits for the semester will be 21. If you register for four (4) courses worth three (3) credits each, you will be taking 12 out of 21 credits. This means you have a 57 per cent course load and would not be eligible for full-time OSAP funding unless you are a student with a permanent disability.
| Courses | Credits Per Course |
| Course 1 | 3 credits |
| Course 2 | 3 credits |
| Course 3 | 3 credits |
| Course 4 | 3 credits |
| Course 5 | 3 credits |
| Course 6 | 6 credits |
| Total | |
| 4 courses | 12 credits (12/21 = 57%) |
Your course load will impact your full-time or part-time status for OSAP purposes. For any questions or if you are unsure about how to calculate your course load, please contact finaid@humber.ca.
Students receiving OSAP funding must be enrolled in the required course load for the entire study period.
Before making any changes to your enrolment such as by dropping a course or withdrawing from a program, you are strongly advised to speak to a Financial Aid Advisor to ensure the change would not affect your funding status.
Last Day to Add
OSAP recipients who want to change their timetable are encouraged to consult an advisor before the Last Day to Add each term to ensure they have time to re-enroll or add a course, as needed, to meet their funding requirement.
Last Day to Drop for a Refund
There is a Last Day to Drop for a Refund deadline every term. If you withdraw after the semester’s refund date, you will be responsible for any outstanding fees and for repayment of OSAP funds to the National Student Loans Service Centre (NSLSC), if applicable.
