OSAP Tuition Deferrals

Students who apply for assistance from the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) may be eligible to defer payment of fees until receipt of their OSAP funds. All OSAP students who wish to defer their tuition fees must:

make a $300.00 down payment by the deadline specified on their Fee Invoice
apply for OSAP at http://osap.gov.on.ca
submit your OSAP application and follow the instructions on the OSAP website

The OSAP application states that the Ministry may use a portion of your OSAP funding to pay, on your behalf, your tuition and compulsory fees directly to your school, unless you have specifically requested that your fees were not to be paid on your behalf.

OSAP applications may take 4 - 6 weeks to process during peak periods. The OSAP Aid Estimator will help you to plan financially for the cost of post secondary education at Sheridan.

If you have indicated on your OSAP application that you did not wish OSAP to redirect tuition and compulsory fees directly to your school or are ineligible for OSAP, or if your OSAP funds are not sufficient to cover your tuition, it is your responsibility to pay all outstanding fees to Sheridan by the dates below to avoid late fee charges:

Outstanding Fall 2013 fees : Due by October 2, 2013
Outstanding Winter 2014 fees : Due by February 5, 2014
Outstanding Spring 2014 fees : Due by June 4, 2014

Only OSAP applicants are eligible to make the $300 down payment for an OSAP Tuition Deferral. There is a $50 fee for an OSAP Tuition Deferral included in the $300 payment, which is applied once per academic year.

Payment of the $300 deposit towards tuition is a commitment to attend Sheridan College. Students who either do not receive financial assistance , or for other reasons, wish to withdraw from a program must notify the Office of the Registrar in writing by the published withdrawal dates. Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities Policy states that partial refunds are only possible if such withdrawal requests are made by the 10th day of class. The student is accountable for all outstanding fees should this process not be followed.

Sheridan also publishes withdrawal dates that enable a student to withdraw without academic penalty later in the term – fees are not refunded in these situations.

Failure to pay your fees by the deadline will result in an additional $100 late fee for each payment deadline missed.

Please refer to http://financialaid.sheridancollege.ca for other important details regarding OSAP and other sources of financial assistance.

Students using RESP funds

In order to withdraw money from your RESP account, your financial institution requires proof that you are enrolled at Sheridan. Staff at the Office of the Registrar can provide you with a letter confirming your enrolment or complete the necessary documentation from your financial institution. Check with your financial institution to confirm what you need as proof of enrolment.

Students who are awaiting funds through scholarships or RESPs will be able to pay a $325 tuition deposit upon proof of pending scholarships or RESPs, by the due date specified on your fee invoice.

It is your responsibility to pay all other outstanding fees to Sheridan by the dates below to avoid late fee charges:

Outstanding Fall 2013 fees : Due by October 2, 2013
Outstanding Winter 2014 fees : Due by February 5, 2014
Outstanding Spring 2014 fees : Due by June 4, 2014

Refunds: Full-time Students

All fees are subject to a non-refundable registration charge in accordance with policy set by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. For domestic students, fees are subject to a $100.00 non-refundable registration charge. For International students, the non-refundable registration charge varies by program and will be calculated as follows:

International Student Tuition Fee ÷ Domestic Student Tuition Fee X $100.00

For OSAP students, any refund, less the non-refundable registration charge, will be directed to the National Student Loans Service Centre to pay down current year OSAP debtAll other refundable fees, except the late fee, will be refunded to a student who completes an Application for a Complete Program Withdrawal to the Office of the Registrar on or before the 10th day of scheduled classes, with the exception of the Academic Co-op Charge (refer to Postsecondary Academic Co-op Charge). If you have received OSAP funding for the study period from which you have withdrawn and requested a refund, Sheridan College will direct the refund to the National Student Loans Services Centre. Dropping courses may not necessarily result in an adjustment of fees (refer to Tuition Fees). Refunds will be paid by cheque to the registered student only.

Withdrawals
