If you have received full-time OSAP funding for the Fall and/or Winter session, you may be eligible for assistance for Spring/Summer courses. In order to qualify, you must meet minimum course load requirements as shown below, and the courses you are taking must be a required part of your program (electives are permitted). New applications must be submitted 60 days before your study period end date. SP/SU extensions must be received 40 days prior to the end of your study period. Fill out the application at the bottom of this page available on or about April 4, 2023.
If you did not receive OSAP during the Fall/Winter terms, you will need to fill out a new OSAP application. Graduate students should use the graduate student OSAP extension form link available at the bottom of this page. OSAP is not available to fund courses that you have already taken and passed (i.e., upgrading marks) unless a higher grade is required to remain in your program. Verification from an academic advisor is required.
Please note: There are many course durations that may not fall under the typical deadlines. The deadline dates apply to students who are a taking a typical Spring or Spring/Summer course load. If you are unsure of the deadline for your application, feel free to email central@brocku.ca or stop by Brock Central. Submit your extension as soon as you have finalized your SP/SU registration and the extension form is available (April 1). In all cases, applications MUST be received 40 days before the end of your study period. All course load change forms must be submitted and other supporting documentation must be completed and uploaded to your OSAP portal (OSAP.ca) 15 business days before the end of your study period.
