Current Students
Fall/Winter Experimental Learning 2013-2014
The Work Study program offers financial support and valuable work experience to full time undergraduate students.
The program works in partnership with academic units, administrative units, faculty, staff and students to support the practice and scholarship of learning at Ryerson University.
If you are a student who would like to apply for work study approval, you must apply for OSAP or a out of province loan.
However, if you do not wish to use/cash in any of your OSAP/Out of Province funding please ensure that you do the following:
1) For OSAP: Print and submit your signature pages to the Financial Aid office in POD 59 in order to receive an OSAP Notice of Assessment by mail or email.
For Out of Province loans: Print and submit your signature pages to your provincial financial aid office.
The Notice of Assessment means your application for a student loan has been fully processed. The Assessment amount includes all loan and any grant(s) amounts.
2) Do not print or bring your Master Student Financial Assistance Agreement (MSFAA) with your personal bank account info to a postal outlet. This will prevent the transfer of loan funds.
IMPORTANT: If you have applied for both OSAP and the 30% Tuition Rebate Grant, but only wish to receive the grant, you must bring your MSFAA with your personal bank account info to a postal office. This will mean however, that both the loan and grant will be deposited into your bank account. Should you not require the loan you may send a check of equal amount back to the National Student Loan Service Center as a refund. Contact jobs@ryerson.ca for more information on how to do this.
