How to Apply

Here is how to prepare and submit your application by the applicable deadline.

2. Create your account (if applicable)

  • Create an OUAC account if you do not already have one.
  • Record your username and password and keep them in a safe place. You will need them to access your application in the future. Keep this information confidential and secure.

3. Complete your application (+ prepare transcripts and referees, if applicable)

Complete all sections of the application.

  • Read the transcript instructions carefully, as some types of transcripts must be ordered within your application, while others you will need to order directly from your institution.
  • Ensure you give your referees enough time to complete their reference and submit it by the appropriate deadline.

4. Review and pay for your application

  • Review your program selections and the other information you provided before clicking “I Verify and Agree”.
  • Submit your application, with payment, well before the application deadline and any university program-specific deadlines.
  • Record your OUAC Reference Number and keep it in a safe place. You must refer to this number whenever you contact the OUAC and your university choices.
