A Guide to Excellence: Maximizing Your OUAC Application Potential

Posted by USCA Academy on February 29th, 2024

Have you decided to take the next step in your academic journey? The Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) is a centralized application service that lets students apply to multiple undergraduate programs at participating universities in Ontario, Canada. But, with so many OUAC programs available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right ones and complete the application process. Don’t worry. We’re here to help! Read on for a step-by-step guide to maximizing your OUAC applicationpotential.

Step 1: Choosing your programs

Before you start filling out your application, take some time to research and explore different programs offered by Ontario universities. The OUAC website provides a comprehensive list of undergraduate programs, including admission requirements and program descriptions. Consider your interests, strengths, and career goals when selecting your programs.

Pro tip: Narrow down your choices to 3-4 programs, with at least one being a “safety” program (a program in which you meet all or most of the admission requirements).

Step 2: Gathering the required information

To complete your OUAC application, you will need to have the following information on hand:

•      Personal information (e.g. name, address, contact information)
•      Education history (e.g. high school transcripts, previous post-secondary education)
•      Program choices (from step 1)
•      Payment method for application fees

Pro tip: Keep your high school transcripts handy, as you will need to enter your marks in specific courses.

Step 3: Filling out the application

Now it’s time to fill out your application! Create an account on the OUAC website and follow the prompts to enter your personal and academic information. Make sure to review your application for any potential mistakes prior to submission. Once submitted, you will receive an email with confirmation and your OUAC reference number.

Pro tip: Your reference number is important, so make sure to keep it safe and use it for any future communication with the OUAC.

Step 4: Monitoring your application status

After submitting your application, you can monitor its status through the OUAC website. Universities will receive your application and may request additional documents or information if needed. Check your email regularly for any updates or requests from universities.

Pro tip: Your spam or junk folder may catch important emails, so make sure to check them as well.
