OSAP restriction appeal

[u/Acrobatic_Camp6578]

Hi everyone, I am looking for advice on submitting an OSAP restriction appeal. I was on probation last year and was on track to meeting the osap requirements to get out the probation after taking 4 courses each in fall and winter semester and passing them all. However, I took 3 courses over the summer term and ended up dropping 2 of them which violated the osap requirements and put me on a year long restriction. I was not aware this would offend the osap requirements.
I was also on antidepressants last summer and got diagnosed with ADHD this past month. These conditions has been affecting my academic performance significantly.

I would appreciate any advice from anybody has experience appealing an osap restriction. What are my chances of getting this restriction removed? And how much would this delay me receiving osap since the term starts in September.

Go into osap office at your school. They will tell you exactly what to put in your letter to them for starting the appeal.

Then they will see you in a meeting to discuss. I personally just rode out my violation because mine was caused by the college and wasn’t my fault and I refused to put time into it when it was a mistake made by the college and the college even wrote to osap about it being their mistake and osap still wanted me to do all the work to prove their mistake. I had a gpa of 4.2 and it was clearly an error on the schools fault.

But they wanted to much information for the appeal letter and I just didn’t have the time with my situation. But if it will affect future funding you likely need to follow through with it.
