In order to apply for a university program in Ontario, students use the Ontario University Application Centre (OUAC).  This organization works with all provincial universities to manage applications and acceptances.  Ontario born students from ontario secondary schools apply as a 101 applicant.  Other students not born in Ontario or not attending Ontario secondary institutions may need to apply with a different application process as outlined on their website.

In order to prepare for the university application process, LKDSB students can utilize myBlueprint ​or the Ontario Universities website to explore the programs offered at each school.

Early October, secondary schools will flag potential university eligible students in our Student Information System and send this list to OUAC.  OUAC will then create pin numbers for eligible students and late November/Early December pins will be distributed to students.

Mid December - early January, students can use their pin numbers to create accounts with OUAC and can begin their university application process.  Applications are due early January and marks are transmitted from the school boards at various times throughout the school year.

Students who have applied for University programming must wait for university acceptances to arrive.  These will be based on marks sent to OUAC by the school board.  Early acceptances may begin to arrive once these marks have been received.  By mid-late May, acceptances will be sent out to all potential students.  Students are usually required to accept their program of choice by early June.
