Call the registrar and ask them if they are taking pictures right now or if they ever will. I got my picture taken for my MacID.

If you dont plan to use osap for installment payment, then you can pick it up later too. You'll have to pick it up from financial aid office, if you dont plan on picking up on any of these days. |

If you don't need to pay off your fees then yes you can go pick it up later. Last year they had OSAP pick up going on well into september. Just remember to bring banking information if you want the money in your bank account.

You can pick it up on any day that OSAP pick-up is available. There is currently no last day announced yet.
Don't forgot to NOT select OSAP as a funding option in your payment agreement in order for it to not go to McMaster.

ok i just checked the OSAP website and it says my application has been processed but it also says : "* This loan instalment cannot be released until after the negotiable date (SEPT 10). If you are attending an institution in Canada, you cannot pick up your loan document until that date.
so does that mean i have to wait till sept 10th to pick up my OSAP from mac...or i can go anytime before that? :S

He means if you dont want to use your OSAP to help pay for tuition go to your payment agreement and make sure that OSAP isnt checked off. That way when you go to pick your OSAP up you can make it go to your own bank account.

It depends when your funding was issued.
Loans issued by August 16th are ready for pick up on or after August 24th
Loans issued by August 23rd are ready for pick up on or after August 31st
Loans issued by August 30th are ready for pick up on or after September 8th
Loans issued by September 6th are ready for pick up on or after September 14th
