I made a mistake in my school submission. How do I change it?

I’m not a current Ontario high school student. How can I send my high school transcripts to my university choices?

Certain Ontario high schools allow you to request your official high school transcript electronically (completed courses only) through OCAS. You can do this in the Undergraduate Application, in the Transcripts section, under “Transcripts from Ontario High Schools” and “Check if my high school participates”. If your high school is not included in this online service, contact them to arrange for them to send your official transcript directly to your university choices. Ask your high school to indicate your OUAC Reference Number on your transcript. The OUAC does not accept hard-copy transcripts, nor do we forward them to your university selections. Note: If you are a current Ontario high school student, your high school will provide your grades to the OUAC; you do not need to request your transcript.

If I accept an offer now, can I change my mind at a later date?

Yes. If you accept an offer but later wish to accept a different offer, you will need to first cancel your accepted offer and then accept the new offer by the stipulated deadline date. Be sure to consider all other factors such as scholarships, residence acceptance and deposits before you make your final decision…

What is the difference between a provisional and a firm acceptance for a rehabilitation sciences program?

A provisional acceptance means that you can indicate that you want your applications to other universities (within the same discipline) to remain active. However, if you accept an offer for 1 discipline and receive an offer for a second, you must choose between the 2. You cannot hold 2 acceptances (firm or provisional) at 1 time.

A firm acceptance means that you will be removed from the wait lists of all other choices (in the same discipline) on your application.

When do provisional acceptances become firm?

All provisional acceptances for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology programs automatically become firm on May 2, 2023.

All provisional acceptances to Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy/Physiotherapy programs automatically become firm on June 7, 2023.
