OSAP Deferral Requests

A fee deferral is an official agreement between Humber and the student who is eligible for OSAP. A fee deferral may be issued to a student who is OSAP eligible, while awaiting the necessary documents to arrange their loan. (Out-of-Province or International students do not qualify for OSAP.) Application and/or approval for OSAP does not constitute payment of fees. Fee deferrals are NOT automatic when you apply for OSAP. Once you are assessed as eligible for OSAP, you may apply for a deferral through the Registrar's Office. This must be done by the Fee Due Date to avoid losing a place in your program. If your OSAP eligibility changes after the deferral is issued, you are responsible for all financial obligations not covered by your OSAP entitlement. Students who are granted a fee deferral have until the 10th day of their program to ensure that all fee payments are remitted to Humber. If a deferral is requested through OSAP, it authorizes Humber to request remittance from the loan document. When a fee deferral is granted by Humber, it constitutes authorization by Humber to take any remedies authorized by law to obtain payment including the release of any personal information held by Humber to any outside Agency for collection or in support of Humber's or OSAP's legal claims. Further, this constitutes written authorization that Humber shall be permitted to withhold releasing any documents or records held by Humber, including final marks and official transcripts, until payment is received in full.

Note: There are many exceptions to this general refund policy. It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of the policy for their specific course(s). Please refer to the refund date on your Admit-To-Class form.

Note to Late Registrants: We regret that exceptions to the Refund and Transfer Policies cannot be made for applicants who register late in a course.
