  To answer what keeps getting asked.
  If you applied for OSAP by June 15th, you are granted 1 month leniency to get your account paid off, meaning the one percent (1%) interest fee will be waived for the months of Septemer and January.This doesn't mean its a vacation from paying your tuition, its just a few extra weeks to find funds and ensure that line-ups to get osap papers filed are of reasonable length.
  Last important piece of advice:
  Before posting a question to the community, please try looking for the solution in Google's York University search engine, the MEMORIES, yorku's own LJSeek search or the list of links below.
  
  Any questions or comments go to amme5832 or greenoxymoronorrachelashleigh. Please don't bother us because your comments/posts have been erased. Obviously your comments/posts were deemed unacceptable don't belong here if that's the case.
