Deadlines Fall/Winter Fee Deferment to OSAP deadline - All students should apply no later than June 30th with all signature sheets and all outstanding paperwork submitted no later than the third week of July annually. You may defer payment of tuition until your loan documents are received if you applied for OSAP by the Brescia deadlines, and you have received confirmation from the Ministry that you will be receiving sufficient OSAP to cover fees due. Typically you should receive this confirmation automatically before the August fee payment date by either paper or email depending on the choice of communication you chose at the time of application, or you may check your status on the OSAP website.
