It's my only concern now and it's tickin me offff lol

You have to get a job, earn your own money, or take a loan from a bank, or from a family member if OSAP does not give you enough.

Does this mean if were living away from home? no? I think that means like, if ur goign to Queen's but studying in europe. Distance education and correspondence means you are enrolled in Queens but doing the courses on your own over the internet or paper courses so you are enrolled but not going there...make sense?

Correspondence/distance ed is courses where you aren't physically taking classes at the university but are instead studying the material on your own and completing assignments etc and sending them in to be marked. Correspondence would tend to refer to the idea that stuff is being mailed back and forth between you and the university, while distance ed would tend to be somewhat more inclusive of the fact that it's more often handled online these days. If you don't know what it is, it probably doesn't apply to you.

My friend's being admitted to university in the winter term.
Does anyone know when to apply for OSAP if you're starting in either the winter or spring terms?

I'm pretty sure that in applying you state which term you're entering in and for how long. Don't exactly quote me on that though.

Yes, you're open to apply now, but you can apply later. Just remember they need at least 10 weeks to process your application.
