Fees
The OLSAS Application service fee is $195 plus a law school application service fee of $90 for each law school selection. All fees are non-refundable. The amount paid must correctly reflect the number of law school selections made.
The law school application fee, collected by OLSAS but remitted directly to the institutions, assists the law schools in covering a portion of the costs associated with the admission assessment. Fees are determined by the number of institutions, not by the number of programs selected at each law school.
Total fee in Canadian dollars (includes the OLSAS processing fee):
| Choice(s) | Application Fee |
|---|---|
| One school | $285 |
| Two schools | $375 |
| Three schools | $465 |
| Four schools | $555 |
| Five schools | $645 |
| Six schools | $735 |
| Seven schools | $825 |
For information about waiving a law school’s $90 fee, applicants should consult the individual law school’s section in this booklet or contact the school directly. Waivers must be approved prior to submitting the application.
Each transcript request costs $12, with some exceptions.
All payments for applications must be received by OLSAS no later than November 8, 2012, for applications to first-year programs or by May 8, 2013, for applications to upper-year programs. Law school authorizations for fee waivers must be in place before the application is submitted.
All fees are non-refundable. Applications will not be forwarded to the universities until full payment has been received by the OUAC. Partial payments will not be accepted. Fees for withdrawn university choices are not refunded.
Payment is part of the final “Submit” process and is accepted by:
- Credit card (MasterCard, VISA or American Express)
- Cheque or money order (Note for international applicants: International cheques, money orders and bank drafts must be in Canadian funds, include the bank address, and have the bank number, transit number and account number encoded on the bottom to be accepted.)
- Online or telephone banking through selected Canadian banks and credit unions. All payments must be made in Canadian funds.
- Travelex bank-to-bank transfer (for international payments only). Applicants are able to pay the Canadian dollar fees in the currency of their choice using a simple and secure way of initiating a payment electronically.
