OSAP Eligibility for Co-op Students
During study terms
You’re eligible for OSAP during semesters that you’re registered as a full-time student and are attending classes.
During work terms
When you’re planning to go on a work term, you must apply for the correct number of weeks of funding. This is an important step; you’ll want to avoid overpayment caused by receiving funding during an incorrect study period.
Maintaining interest-free status while on work term
OSAP is interest-free as long as you are a full-time student, which is considered to be a 60% course load (or 40% course load for students with a permanent disability). This means that as long as someone is enrolled full time, their loan won’t go into repayment mode and their interest won’t begin to accumulate.
As a co-op student, U of T considers you to be in full-time attendance while out on your work term; therefore, you’re entitled to continue interest-free. But you have to let the lender, the National Student Loans Service, know that you’re still a student.
To do this, simply complete a Continuation of Interest-Free Status (or CFIS) form by the deadline.
