First year - Western Continuing Admission for Black Students and Western Continuing Admission Scholarship of Excellence for Indigenous students will be applied directly to your fee account before the first installment of fees are due.
Note for students in receipt of OSAP: If your Admission Scholarship is applied to your account (as Anticipated Aid or applied toward the balance owing) prior to your first installment of OSAP being released, the scholarship amount will be used toward your first installment of fees, reducing the amount of OSAP that is remitted toward your fee account for the first installment.
