Beginning in June, Ontario high school students can search for possible openings at Ontario universities. To begin your search, visit the Undergraduate page and click the “Search Open Programs” button.
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 you are a current Ontario high school student, grades from summer school courses are submitted to the OUAC by the summer school or the school board. Verify with your summer school that either they or the school board will be sending the grades directly to the OUAC on your behalf.
The submission entered will only change to “Yes” once you’ve entered a prerequisite course for each prerequisite category…
If you apply for admission while at one school and then transfer to a different school, your new school must advise the OUAC of this change. Your new school will provide the OUAC with their name and school number (MIDENT), your new Secondary School Student Number (SSSN), if applicable, and your Ontario Education Number (OEN). The OUAC will then notify your university choices of this transfer. Remember to update your application if your mailing address has also changed…
In this situation, it is fine to leave the Activities and Employment section blank. You will get a warning message about this during the Review and Payment step, but you can ignore it; the universities require this information only from applicants who are not currently attending high school.
You must provide a home address and a mailing address, even if these 2 addresses are the same. A mailing address is the address where you receive postal mail. It is not your email address…

The TEAS online transcript request is mandatory for transcripts from Ontario universities, and optional for Ontario college transcripts. You must complete both the Academic Background and Program Choices sections, then click on the Transcript Requests section of the application. Ensure that you enter any former surnames in the Personal Information section of the application, as this information may be necessary to match your transcript request with your application. Transcripts other than those from Ontario universities must be ordered by contacting the Registrar’s office directly. These transcripts should be sent directly to the appropriate Faculties of Education…
