In order to do this, you will need to submit a Continuation of Interest-Free Status (CIFS) request online via your OSAP portal or you can also submit a paper application. The form can be found on the OSAP website and submitted to the Financial Aid Office once complete.
Online and paper applications will be processed by the Financial Aid Office in the order in which they are received.
