A quick definition of provision:

Term: PROVISION

Definition: A provision is a rule or condition that is written in a legal document, like a contract or law. It tells you what you have to do or what you can't do. Sometimes a provision starts with the words "provided that" and adds extra information or exceptions to the rule.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A provision is a clause or stipulation in a legal document, such as a contract or statute, that sets out a condition or limitation that must be met for the document to be valid or applied.

Example: A lease agreement may include a provision that the tenant must pay rent on the first of each month in order to continue occupying the property.

This example illustrates how a provision sets out a condition that must be met for the lease agreement to be valid and enforceable. In this case, the provision specifies that the tenant must pay rent on time in order to continue living in the property.

Example: A contract for the sale of goods may include a provision that the buyer must inspect the goods upon delivery and report any defects within a certain timeframe.

This example illustrates how a provision can set out a limitation or condition that must be met for the contract to be valid and enforceable. In this case, the provision specifies that the buyer must inspect the goods and report any defects within a certain timeframe in order to be eligible for a refund or replacement.

Example: A statute may include a provision that certain activities are prohibited within a designated area.

This example illustrates how a provision can be included in a statute to set out a limitation or condition that must be met for the law to be applied. In this case, the provision specifies that certain activities are prohibited within a designated area, and anyone who violates this provision may be subject to legal penalties.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Sent an app to OSU in early december and have STILL not heard back
Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
