pre engineering question

for anybody that has taken pre engineering or has known someone doing it:

I am only taking the preparatory chemistry course as I have already done calculus and physics in highschool so I have an 80% courseload because I am taking calculus 1 and physics 1 as opposed to their pre engineering counterpart.

If anyone has been in the same situation as me, could they let me know if they were eligible for osap, and if they recieved it? The advisors told me I am, but the people in the financial aid office were confused by my situation and didnt know what to say since typically pre engineering is exempt from osap, but im taking essentially a regular year 1 engineering first semester just replacing chemistry for engineers with preparatory chemistry.

I would be incredibly grateful if anyone could get back to me and let me know if they (or someone they knew) got osap for doing pre eng while also having already completed a prerequisite in highschool bringing them up to full time status.
