Important OSAP pick-up information

If you have received a Verification of Income Letter from the ministry: We advise you to read the letter completely and if you agree with the updates you do not have to do anything with the letter, if you don’t agree, then submit supporting documentation for a review. You can send the documents to our office and we will forward them to the ministry on your behalf.

If you are receiving notification from the ministry concerning outstanding documents required for your OSAP application; and you submitted the documents to our office during January you do not have to re-submit the forms. We are working hard at processing the Winter 2012 OSAP documents and ask for your patience. If you submitted documents prior to January and your OSAP account still indicates there are outstanding documents, please call or visit our office so we can investigate.

Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for the processing of your OSAP documents.

University of Waterloo Guarantee of Undergraduate Student Financial Support


The University guarantees to fund unmet need as defined by OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program) or a student assistance program from another Canadian province.

The University aspires to identify students in need and ensure that all eligible students admitted to full-time undergraduate programs have the financial assistance necessary to complete their studies.

Students are required to seek financial support from all sources, including family, employment, government support programs and loans.

The University determines unmet need (as defined by OSAP) by using OSAP allowable costs minus the student's expected resources.

Where other provincial jurisdictions use institutional bursaries as a resource, the University is not in a position to provide further bursary assistance to replace/repay loan overpayments.
