Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What does OUAC do?

OUAC is an application processing centre for undergraduate admissions to Ontario Universities. It receives, processes, and forwards student applications to the respective universities. However, the OUAC does not make admission decisions; that responsibility lies with the universities.

How to Apply for Universities through OUAC?
Will my marks be sent directly to OUAC?
  • For students applying through OUAC, you must first Add “CanSTEM Education Private School” in the Academic Background section of your OUAC account to grant our administration access to your application.
  • Once added, select “GROUP A” when requesting your report card, and we will update your marks directly to OUAC. For students applying as GROUP B, simply provide the university’s admissions email along with your student ID number.
How do I access my OUAC account?

You can access your OUAC account by following this link to the OUAC login page.

Am I a Group A or Group B Applicant?

The undergraduate application is designed to automatically categorize you into the correct group. If you make changes to your application, your group may change as well.

Your program selection, admission requirements, and deadlines may differ based on whether you are a Group A or Group B applicant.

You are a Group A applicant if,

  • You are currently taking one or more courses at an Ontario high school,
  • You will be under 21 on or before December 31, 2024,
  • You have an OSSD or are working toward an OSSD with six 4U/M courses.

You are a Group B applicant if you do not meet the Group A criteria.

  • A Canadian student from outside Ontario,
  • An international applicant,
  • A transfer student,
  • A mature applicant,
  • 21 years of age or older on or before December 31, 2024, and taking a course at an Ontario high school.
How do I request my high school transcript if I’m attending an Ontario high school (Group B)?

Ontario High Schools (Group B only)

Certain Ontario high schools allow you to request your official high school transcript electronically (completed courses only) through OCAS. You can access it from the OUAC Undergraduate application in the Transcripts section under “Transcripts from Ontario High Schools” and “Check if my high school participates”. Any transcripts you request through this process will be redirected to your university selections.

Note: Updates to any information on these transcripts are not automatically sent to the OUAC. If your information changes, you will need to make a new request using the same online service.
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.
  • Note:The OUAC does not accept these as hard-copy transcripts, nor do we forward them to your university selections.
