If you are a current Ontario high school student, there are specific dates and deadlines in your application process.

January 15, 2024

The deadline for current Ontario high school students to submit their completed applications to the OUAC.

Note: The OUAC will continue to process applications received after this date and distribute them to the Ontario universities; however, specific university deadlines will apply.

The target date for Ontario universities to receive all application data and grades from the OUAC for applications submitted by January 15, 2024.

February 22, 2024

The target date for Ontario universities to receive all final grades available for 4U/M courses and current full-year grades for 4U/M courses from the OUAC.

May 2, 2024

The target date for Ontario universities to receive all midterm or final grades available for 4U/M courses and interim grades for full-year courses from the OUAC. The OUAC will send grades we receive before the deadline to Ontario universities when they are received.
May 29, 2024

The latest date all current Ontario high school students who submitted their application by the January application deadline can expect a response from an Ontario university. This includes an offer of admission, a refusal or a deferral, once additional information is received.

June 3, 2024

The earliest date a current Ontario high school student may be required to respond to an Ontario university offer of admission and give a financial commitment (e.g., registration deposit, residence deposit, etc.).

All other admission-related elements, including scholarships, other forms of student assistance or financial incentives, and offers of residence, are considered part of the offer of admission. Therefore, a student may accept these other offers before June 3, 2024, but Ontario universities will not compel a student in any way to decide on this date.

June 5, 2024

The date the Admission Information Service (AIS) opens. The AIS allows you to determine which Ontario universities still have spots available in first-year undergraduate programs.

July 11, 2024

The target date for the OUAC to send all remaining final grades to the Ontario universities. The OUAC will attempt to contact all schools that have not provided their grades.

August 1 to 30, 2024

The OUAC collects summer school grades from Ontario high schools and school boards.
