Review and Change Your 105 Online Application – Tutorial
(Video Transcript – Text Only)

Hello! Welcome to the “Ontario Universities’ Application Centre” website.

This video will show you how to review and/or change your completed application. Once you have applied to an Ontario university, you can access your online application to:

• pay your application fee, or any outstanding fee balances, if you have not already done so (note that it will take one business day to process your payment before you can access your application);
• review all of the application information you provided to the OUAC;
• add, delete or change your university or program choices;
• make changes to your personal, address, prior institution, or activities information;
• add a new transcript request; and
• accept or decline university offers of admission.

To access your submitted application, go to the “All Other Undergraduate Applicants (OUAC 105)” website – the same website that you used to access the online application: www.ouac.on.ca/ouac-105/, or you can click the link, here on the OUAC home page.

For this demonstration, we will be using the 105D Online Application.

You can access your application throughout the application cycle to change your information including your university program choices. However, keep in mind that some universities may not accept program changes past a certain date. Please check the individual university websites to determine if they have any program-specific deadlines.

Now, to access your application, click “Log In” from the main 105D application page. Enter your OUAC Reference Number. If you applied online, you would have received this number on the last screen of your submitted application. You would have also received an acknowledgement email immediately after you submitted your application. This email includes your OUAC Reference Number.

Next, enter your PIN/Password in the second box. Remember that your PIN/Password is case sensitive and must be entered exactly as you entered it when you initially created your account. If you have forgotten your PIN/Password, you can use the “Forgot your password?” link to update your password using the Challenge Question/Answer combination you entered when you first created your account. If you misplaced your OUAC Reference Number and are unable to locate the acknowledgement email sent when your application was submitted, or have forgotten your Challenge Question/Answer combination, you can contact Applicant Services at: 519-823-1063. Read the “Statement of understanding”, check the box, and then click “Log in now”.

Once you are logged in, click any of the application links in the left-hand navigation bar. If you did not apply online, use the “Account” link to change your PIN to a personal password. To browse or select a program, click “Browse Programs”. To review your application in detail, click “My Application”. You can go to any section of the application now by using these menu buttons at the top.

It is important to note that if you make any change to your application that requires payment, you must pay by credit card, using VISA, MasterCard or American Express. If you wish to pay by cheque or money order, you cannot make your changes online: you must print and complete the University Program Choice Amendment PDF form, and mail it, along with your cheque or money order, to the OUAC.

If you have any questions at any point, look for the “Help” link at the top right of the application. You can go to any section of the application by using these menu buttons at the top of the page.

In the Choices/Offers section, you can add or delete programs, or change the details of programs that you have applied to. To delete a choice, click the “Delete” link in the column beside the choice. To change details of an existing choice, click the “Change” link to the right of the choice and make the necessary changes. For an existing program choice, you may change only the details that you initially specified.

To change the program code or the university, you must delete the existing choice and then add the new choice using the “Add new program” link. Also, remember that if you add more program choices, you may have to pay additional fees including the supplementary fee for any new universities selected. For more information about the 105 fee structure, click the “Application Information” link under the left hand menu Help Links, then select the option “Fees”.

Some universities may further limit the number of choices at their institution. Please note that if you add a program for a new university, a detailed summary of the supplementary fees you are being charged for that new university will be displayed at the “Submit” step. Exemption rules may apply depending on your university selections and educational background. If any of the exemption questions apply to you, answer accordingly.

In this section you can see whether you have received any university offers of admission. University offers of admission will be displayed in the “Admission Decision” column. To view the details of an offer and/or to respond to an offer, click the “Offer” or “Alternate Offer” link in the “Admission Decision” column. You will then see an option to accept or, if applicable, an option to decline the offer.

For detailed information about responding to offers of admission, view the video tutorial for online responses by clicking the link within this section or consult the offers of admission help link. If you have been offered admission to a program or if you have accepted a university offer of admission, you will not be able to change the program details. Please contact the university for further instructions.

After responding to an offer, you will go back to the “Choices/Offers” page where you will see your response listed as “Unsubmitted” in the “Applicant Response” column. If you have no further changes to your application information, and are ready to submit your response, you can do so by clicking one of these submit buttons.

If you have further information to change, you may do so by going to the applicable section:

• In the Order Choices section, you can change the order of your program selections.
• In the Personal Information section, you can revise your personal details.
• In the Address Information section, you can revise your email, your mailing address or your home address. It is important that you keep your email up-to-date throughout the application process. Email is the primary mode of communication between the OUAC, the university and applicants.
• In the Institutions Attended section, you can add, change, or update your secondary and postsecondary information or add/remove information as required.
• In the Transcript Requests section, you can add additional transcript requests from an Ontario university or college. For additional information about all other transcripts, please visit www.ouac.on.ca/105-transcript/.
• In the Activities section you can update or delete the activities information you have provided, or add any new details.
• In each of these sections, remember to click “Continue” at the bottom of the page. Clicking this button will not submit your changes, but will record them to the list of changes that you have made during this session.

Submitting Your Changes

In order to save any of your changes, in any section, you must complete the “Submit” process. There are three steps:

1. When you click “Submit”, you will see all the changes that you have made to your application during this session. Any changes and/or responses will be highlighted in red. If you have added new choices, the fees owed will also be listed. These responses and changes will be saved and sent to the universities only when you complete the submission process. Review all the information for accuracy. Go back and change any incorrect information, as necessary. You can go back to any section of your application at any point. Please note: If you exit your application without completing the “Submit” process, your changes will not be saved.
2. Once you are satisfied with your changes and/or responses, scroll to the bottom of the screen, and click the “I verify that the information above is correct as shown” button. If payment is required for any of your program changes, the payment screen will display.
3. Read and understand the conditions of the “Applicant’s Declaration”. After reading the declaration, click “I Agree” to finish the submission process.

When you have completed all of these steps, you will immediately receive a single confirmation number for all submitted changes and/or responses to offers of admission made within this session. Below the confirmation number, you will see a summary of all your changes and/or responses. Print this page for your records.
If you do not receive a confirmation number, your changes and/or responses have not been saved and submitted to the OUAC. Please try again.

After submitting your changes, you will be locked out of your account for one business day. It is recommended that you log back in to your account after that time, to ensure that your responses and changes have been made to your application.

Now you have successfully reviewed and/or changed your application and/or responded to university offers of admission. Thank you for using the 105 Online Application.
