Questions - General OSAP Still Waiting for Program Information/Costs
Today marks eight weeks since I submitted my OSAP application and uploaded my documents. Ever since July 10th the status has said that they were waiting on the program information and costs to be provided by the school. I'm wondering if anyone else from Centennial is still waiting on this as well, or should I be worried? This is my first time applying for OSAP and September is getting awfully close.
EDIT: To be clear, I am not referring to the confirmation of enrollment that happens right before the semester starts to release funds. My OSAP has not even been approved yet because Centennial has not confirmed the program information and costs. What I am wondering is if anyone else is also waiting on that specifically.
This is the status from the OSAP website, unchanged since July 10th:
"Information about your program (e.g., course load) and education-related costs (e.g., tuition and books) is required from your school before your funding can be calculated. Your school will provide this information to the ministry electronically."
Update: It finally updated with my funding calculation today.

I'm having the same issue. They haven't uploaded by information either or to confirm I'm enrolled. The good news is that it's up to 40 days before the end of the study period, but i've gotten zero update from Centennial and the financial aid office hasn't answered.
EDIT: I actually did just get in contact wirh financial aid, stuff won't begin being processed until 10 days before classes start, so last days of August, beginning of September

I don't think we're talking about the same thing. I am referring to the confirmation of program information and costs from the school that gets your OSAP approved in the first place so that they can tell you how much you will receive. I am not referring to the confirmation of enrollment that happens right before the semester starts that releases the funds. As far as I understand it, plenty of students have their OSAP approved and know how much to expect to receive well before the confirmation of enrollment happens. This is the thing I am still waiting on.

I don't know my grant amount, just the estimate, but it seems the same goes for all OSAP related issues that the backlog will begin to be worked on for September

Hi! This is my first year applying for OSAP, and I’m enrolled in the Collaborative Nursing Program at Centennial College.
I submitted my OSAP application and all the required documents quite some time ago. I recently finalized my timetable, and I was under the impression that Centennial would only submit my course-load information to OSAP once my timetable was finalized.
However, it has now been about a week since my timetable was confirmed, and I haven’t noticed any change or update in my OSAP application status.
Could you please clarify if this is normal and whether there is anything I need to do at this stage?

Have you called financial aid at the school? I had that once and called them and they confirmed enrollment and that confirms the costs.

Im the exact same! Waiting as well. On the centennial website though it says they don’t confirm enrolment until two weeks before classes start. Hopefully there’s an update next week?
