University Acceptance Express Challenge

Navigating The University And College Application Process

Each year thousands of interested applicants go through the process of applying to universities and colleges across Canada. Applicants are encouraged to start their search early and become familiar with the program specific course pre-requisites, grade and other requirements and application deadlines.

Following are some considerations for applicants wishing to attend university or college in Ontario:

1. Search tools. The Internet is the best place to start a search, but cannot replace the importance of an onsite visit. Most schools offer open houses and information nights. Beside the individual institutions’ web sites, there are a number of sites for an applicant to compare programs and schools including ontariocolleges.ca for public colleges and electronicinfo.ca for universities. For general information, the Canadian government also operates the canlearn.ca web site and Ontario specific information is available from the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities at www.edu.gov.on.ca.

2. Pre-requisites and competitive grades. Many programs, especially highly competitive programs, will set a minimum grade for an individual course or average of courses. Individuals who need additional credits or who have left the secondary school system may upgrade their marks or obtain missing credits without having to go back to school or attend night school through independent distance education. “Although ILC is an accredited high school, many of our students have already graduated and may have been given a conditional offer of admission. Their purpose in enrolling is to either earn missing pre-requisites or improve their grade in a course already taken. Independent study means setting your pace, and so students pressed for time are able to accelerate their study so as to not miss any important deadlines, ” says Gerry Pigat, principal of the Independent Learning Centre (ilc.org), Ontario’s designated provider of distance education.

3. Centralized application processing. In Ontario, there are two centralized services for post-secondary applications: ouac.on.ca for universities and ocas.ca for colleges of applied arts and technology. Private and career colleges accept direct applications.

4. Additional application criteria. Many high demand programs will establish additional application requirements such as an admissions or assessment test, essay, portfolio, personal references, interview or audition. For the best opportunity for acceptance, applicants must be familiar with the program’s requirements and allow adequate time to prepare.

5. Financial assistance. Students seeking financial assistance should not only investigate the Ontario Student Assistance Program (www.osap.gov.on.ca) but also institution-specific, private and corporate scholarships and bursaries with studentawards.com as one potential source of information and resources.
