Deadlines
2023 Application Deadlines for Ontario High School Students
January 12, 2023
Deadline for Ontario high school students to submit their completed application to the OUAC.
Note: The OUAC still processes applications received after this date and distributes them to the universities; however, specific university deadlines will apply.
The initial application includes all final grades from completed Grade 11 and 12 courses and a list of all current-year courses in progress.
May 29, 2023
The latest date all high school applicants 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 1, 2023
The earliest date an 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 are considered part of the offer of admission, including:
- scholarships,
- other forms of student assistance or financial incentives and
- offers of residence.
Therefore, a student may accept these other offers before June 1, 2023, but Ontario universities will not compel a student in any way to make a decision earlier than this date.
