Ask the college

Is my program designated for OSAP?
What are the tuition and fees for the whole program, not just the first term?
When is the next intake, and what is the last date to accept an offer?
Which office confirms my enrolment, and who do I contact if my aid payment is late?

You apply yourself, and only OSAP decides.

Confirm every detail on the official site.
