Spring Term Funding

Students who have already received full-time Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) funding for the current fall and/or winter sessions are eligible to extend their full-time OSAP application during the 12-week spring term, six-week intersession or six-week summer session — if enrolled in the minimum full-time course load.

Application Process

Form Status:
The OSAP Spring Extension Form is closed for the spring 2023 term. This form will open for spring 2024 in early March 2024.

To extend an existing fall and/or winter full-time OSAP application through the spring term, complete an OSAP Spring Extension Form. If a previous full-time application was submitted for the fall and/or winter term(s) of the current academic year, do not complete a new OSAP application. If you have not previously applied for full-time OSAP during the current academic year, submit a new OSAP application (minimum 12 week study period required in full-time course load for new spring application).

If you are enrolled as a co-op student during the spring term, review the information regarding OSAP for co-op students.

Note: Laurier forms require your Laurier username and password. If you have issues accessing your account, please contact the ICT Service Desk.
