No, linking to OSAP is an optional step meant to save you time in your OSAP application. You may link your OSAP and OUAC accounts any time after you have submitted your OUAC application…
Note: You must have a current Undergraduate application to link to your OSAP account.
You can link using any of these options:
Go directly to the OSAP website.
Click any of the OSAP banners or links on the OUAC website or within your application.
Click your “OSAP Link Status” within your completed OUAC application.
You will pay for your application and your transcript request fees as part of the final process of submitting your application, once you click “Review and Submit”…
The payment processing time depends on how you make your payment in your application using CIBC Student Pay (e.g., credit or debit card, electronic funds transfer).
Credit card payments are usually processed in 2-3 days. Other payment methods may take up to 7 business days to be processed.
The OSAP and OUAC applications do not share personal and address information on a continual basis. When you link, you allow the OUAC to share this information with OSAP once.
OSAP displays all your OUAC program choices, regardless of their status in your OUAC application. If you change your mind and drop a course, you can simply close the OSAP application for that specific program.
Applicants can take advantage of a variety of scholarships available at all Ontario universities. The Ontario Government also has a financial aid program to assist students in need of funding in order to pursue a university education. Some university scholarships are available for applicants entering their first year of study and some are renewable for additional years if they satisfy certain conditions. Be sure to accept offers of scholarships by the stipulated reply deadline…
There are 2 ways you can unlink your OUAC and OSAP applications:
No. The ability to link OUAC and OSAP accounts is available only if you applied with the Undergraduate application.
Yes, you can. You do not need to go to a CIBC branch or have a CIBC bank account to use CIBC Student Pay in your application. You can make Canadian and international payments with this service. The payment options available in CIBC Student Pay depend on the country you are paying from.
Some applicants are exempt from paying supplemental fees. The system will automatically exempt you if you qualify…
Linking allows you to save time in your application process by sharing the information you have input in your OUAC application with your OSAP application…
Your program choices will not appear in your OSAP application until the spring. Log back in to your OSAP application at that time.
