to cover your first installment <strong>of</strong> tuition fees,<br />
you are responsible for paying your difference<br />
by the due date. If you pay in two installments<br />
(September and January) with your OSAP you<br />
will be charged the $54.00 deferment charge.<br />
Note: OSAP loans are issued in 2 installments,<br />
60% in September and the remainder in January.<br />

your payment. If it has been longer than two<br />
weeks, go back to your bank and trace your<br />

Fee Deferment<br />
Students using OSAP to pay their tuition<br />
fees and who have an assessment that covers<br />
the first installment fully, will be granted<br />
an automatic fee deferral until the loans are<br />
available in September. The second installment<br />
<strong>of</strong> tuition will be due in January. Students<br />
receiving OSAP funding may wish to pay<br />
in two installments. Information about fee<br />
deferment will be available on the fee bill.<br />
Students can avoid the deferment fee if full<br />
tuition is paid by September 30.<br />
