University Application Information

Ontario University Application Information for Current High School Students.

For additional details and information, please visit https://www.ouac.on.ca/ouac-101/101-info/

Step 1: Research Your University Selections

• Check out university publications and university websites.
• Visit eINFO and the 101 application to browse programs online.
  • Record your program choices and their OUAC codes.
  • Make note of all admission requirements and program-specific deadlines.
• Review the 101 Application Guide.
• Attend the Ontario Universities’ Fair (OUF) and/or the University Information Program (UIP).

Step 2: Gather Information Needed to Apply

• In October/November your high school will distribute Application Access Code letters that contain the information required to apply online:
  • School Number
  • Student Number
  • Temporary PIN
• Narrow down your university program selections by talking to your parents, teachers and guidance counsellors about your interests and options.
• Watch the instructional video on how to apply online.
• Review the 101 Important Dates.

Step 3: Apply

• Use the information in your Application Access Code Letter to log in to your online application.
• Complete all sections of the application.
• Review your program selections before clicking “I Verify and Agree”.
• Submit your application, with payment, well before the 101 application deadline and any university program-specific deadlines.
• Record the OUAC Reference Number you receive and keep it in a safe place. You will require this number, along with your password, for future access to your application, and to respond to university offers of admission.

Step 4: After Applying

• Log in to your online application to verify the details. Review and make any necessary changes. Note: During the busy periods around deadline dates (January/February), it can take up to 2 weeks to process your application. Normally, it takes 1-3 business days.
• Ensure spam filters are set to accept email from the OUAC and the universities you applied to. Email is the primary mode of communication for the universities and the OUAC.
• The universities will acknowledge that they received your application.
• After you receive your report card, log in to verify your grades information. Notify your guidance office of any necessary corrections.
• Visit a university. University open houses and campus visits are great ways to experience first-hand what campus life is like and help you decide which university is the best fit for you.
• Expect to receive either an offer of admission or a refusal from the universities you applied to by the end of May.
