Your OSAP account will say so, it will say that your funding has been calculated, go to the "check status" section.

I'm not too sure about the details of their ASAP pass this year. I wanted to fill my app out for one but my family's notice of assessments still weren't in by the deadline for submitting the ASAP form

my status says that my application has been processed. and my "funding summary" page shows how much funding I have. so does this mean that mac has my osap certificate and I can go pick up my osap?

Yes you should be able to pick it up during the release times. In the funding summary it should also have a release date I believe.

Here are the release dates http://sfas.mcmaster.ca/osap.html

when i go on my osap it literally says

"Current Status
Your file has been updated with additional information and your OSAP funding has been recalculated."

Is that a good thing S: ? (it even has my estimate there)

Ya, it just means new information was given affecting your OSAP so they just recalculated based on the information. You can go to the early OSAP pick up.

Also, for those first years that think that you will get your OSAP on the dates, you won't. It' just basically processing your paperwork and you will actually receive your soap about a few days to a week after school starts (Sept 8th I believe)

I think as long as your application has been processed and funding has been calculated, you should be able to go to the early pick up. Maybe email [email protected] to make sure, I didn't pick mine up early last year and don't plan to this year either.

As long as your funding has been calculated and you have nothing left to do in your "things to do"(exc. income verification and confirmation of enrolment), then you're fine.

It only applies if the money isn't going to McMaster. If that applies to you then anything with your banking information will do. A cheque, I believe direct deposits also contain that information, you can also get that information from your bank and write it down on a piece of paper.

That's the earliest date, there's a table here: http://sfas.mcmaster.ca/osap.html under the "OSAP release" tab.
