105 Declaration

Declaration and Notice of Collection, Use, Disclosure and Treatment of Personal Information Provided as Part of Your University(ies) Undergraduate Program(s) (105) Application

The Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) was created by the universities of Ontario through the Council of Ontario Universities (COU). The OUAC has been processing applications on behalf of universities in Ontario since 1971. To apply for admission to a university undergraduate program and/or a non-degree-granting program in Ontario, your application must be processed through the OUAC. The OUAC forwards your application information to the university(ies) of your choice. By applying through the OUAC, you agree that the university(ies) of your choice will obtain the personal information you have provided to the OUAC and that the OUAC will collect, use, disclose and otherwise manage your personal information as set out in this Declaration and Notice.

The personal information requested in this application is required by the OUAC and by the university(ies) for the purpose of your application and must be provided together with your application fee. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Universities may require additional personal information from you to complete your application. Universities may use and disclose your personal information for other purposes in accordance with their own admission and personal information policies and practices, including requirements for government enrollment reporting, which you must investigate yourself. For example, some programs at some universities (e.g., Nursing) may require you to provide them with information about whether and to what extent you have a prior criminal record. Universities also disclose personal information to regulatory authorities, law enforcement or other persons, when authorized or required to do so by law.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your application information and all supporting documentation is truthful, complete and correct. The OUAC and the universities reserve the right to verify any information provided as part of this application If any information in your application is determined to be false or misleading, concealed or withheld, or written by a third party, at the absolute discretion of the OUAC and/or a university, your application may be invalidated. This could result in its immediate rejection or in the revocation of an offer of admission or registration at a university. Any such information may be shared by the OUAC or by universities and colleges with other universities and colleges across Canada.

The OUAC is committed to protecting your privacy in relation to the personal information you provide in support of your application. Transcripts and supplementary material in support of applications submitted to the OUAC are not kept by the OUAC and will not be returned to you or forwarded to third parties prior to being destroyed at the end of each application cycle.

The OUAC retains the current (and historical) electronic version(s) of your application(s) in accordance with the OUAC’s records retention policy and maintains administrative, technical and physical safeguards in an effort to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure of your personal information. The OUAC will maintain the confidentiality of all personal information it collects in connection with the application and will disclose such personal information only for the purposes described in this Declaration and Notice. The OUAC stores electronic records off-site as part of its disaster recovery procedures. You are solely responsible for keeping your access code, login information and other registration information confidential and secure. Please notify the OUAC immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access, use or disclosure.
