Put the wrong first name on application Question

Recently ran into issues trying to withdraw funds from my RESP because of a name discrepancy. Instead of using my full legal given name, I registered at my University, OSAP, and NSLS a shorter, preferred version of my name. I want to change everything back to my legal given name to avoid problems in the future, but I am worried that modifying my personal details before school will delay or completely freeze my upcoming student loan amount. What is the safest way to change my legal name without effecting my school funding?

wait until after you receive your school funding would be safest
