Instructions for changing your disability status

2025-26 OSAP Application for Full-time Students

If you want to self-identify as a student with a permanent disability or with a different persistent or prolonged disability:

• You must provide the OSAP Disability Verification form. Details about the documentation you must provide and how it should be provided are listed on the form.

Note: if you are applying for OSAP for Full-Time or Part-Time studies and are eligible for the Canada Student Grant for Students with Disabilities, the grant will not be issued until your OSAP Disability Verification Form has been approved by your financial aid office.

If you do not want to self-identify as a student with a disability or if you selected the wrong value when you registered:

• You must provide a letter indicating that you want your disability status changed for one of the following reasons:
• You do not want to self-identify as a student with a disability
• You want to self-identify as a student with a permanent disability
• You want to self-identify as a student with a different persistent or prolonged disability

If you have any questions about the supporting documentation requirements for your application or about making a change to your disability status on your application, please contact your financial aid office.
