hey so you know how you have to select a method of payment after choosing your courses?
I'm wondering if I can choose OSAP option
because it says I have to make the payment by Sept 1, but I know my OSAP money is released on Sep 8.
So does that mean I can't choose OSAP as my method of payment???

It deducts OSAP's first instalment from your tuition.

I'm pretty sure the September 1st deadline only applies if you're planning on paying the entire payment in full. Otherwise, you can choose one of the "flex plans" which allow you to pay for your tuition in segments. If you plan on using OSAP, there's an OSAP flex plan that takes into account the release dates of OSAP.

Check out the Payment Agreement form in SOLAR for the different payment options.

You just have to follow the payment schedule that you see in your payment agreement. You can also pay more than what is due on the specific dates. The sooner you pay off your tuition, the less interest you will have to pay.
