Undergraduate students are considered full-time by OSAP if they are:
- Enrolled in a minimum of 1.5 units for at least 12 weeks, or
- Have an approved OSAP Disability Verification form on their OSAP profile; and are enrolled in a minimum of 1.0 units for at least 12 weeks.
1.0 units = 40%
1.5 units = 60%
2.0 units = 80%
2.5 units = 100%
If you are enrolled in more than 2.5 units you are still considered 100% for the purpose of OSAP.
Graduate students are considered full-time by OSAP if they are:
- Registered as a full-time student for at least 12 weeks, or
- Have an approved OSAP Disability Verification form on their OSAP profile; and are enrolled as a part-time student for at least 12 weeks
Graduate students may or may not be required to take courses as part of their degree. Therefore Graduate students are either full-time or part-time. A full-time Graduate student would have a course load of 100% on the OSAP application.
