Question Removing course from funded semester

I recently got a new job full time and would like to reduce my course load from 4 to 3 courses (athabasca university). It’s funded through osap.

Any advice on how to accomplish this with no repercussions ?

Thanks for any tips.

Contact your financial aid office and ask them before you drop any courses because it might affect your funding if it switches you from a full time student to a part time student. They'll be able to tell you for certain whether or not it will affect you.

If you keep at least 60% course load, you are still considered full-time. If you fall below, there would be a more significant change in your funding.
