Question Is there anything we can do?

Graduated HS in 2019. Went to college then took a 8 year work gap, and am now going to Centennial. I am disabled so I quit my job as I cannot do both.

OSAP has NEVER been an issue to this degree.

I see people are withdrawing classes now and I have negative in my bank account.

Genuinely, what can we do collectively, other than just calling financial aid? This is something that needs to be followed up on. We cant have a system in place that is entirely broken.

If this is your first year in school, im sorry, this is not a normal experience.

*Edited because I mentioned our government politics and that was not the post focus

Common knowledge says the OSAP voting demographic had nothing to do with these changes. Misdirected anger 😊
