Full source wording

Verbatim: "There is no specific Undergraduate application deadline if you are a Group B applicant. Deadlines vary at each university and sometimes depend on the program. Visit the university websites or contact the universities directly for their deadlines. If you are interested in a program but the deadline has passed, you may contact the university's admission office for help. Be aware of university-specific deadlines for submitting transcripts and portfolios, if required, and for arranging interviews and auditions. You must ensure the OUAC has enough time to process your choices before the universities' program deadlines." OUAC defines Group B as anyone who does not meet the Group A criteria, e.g. not currently taking an Ontario high school course, a Canadian outside Ontario, an international applicant, a postsecondary transfer student, or a mature applicant.

Dietary options: Non-self-serve True Balance avoids ingredients from nine named allergens; it does not guarantee allergen-free food and can contain fish.

Open kitchens carry cross-contact risk.

Meal plans and dietary needs

Published meal plans: Residence All-Access/Plus include$200/$400 Dining Dollars across fall+winter; Reduced includes$300 and10 weekly meals, once per meal period, resetting Monday without weekly rollover. All three list4 guest meals per semester. Fall2026 service began September4 at lunch; Winter2027 begins January5 at dinner. Decreases: September17,2026 and January18,2027; first change each term free, later changes$25. Dining Dollars work at specified Dining Services outlets; Tim Hortons redemption requires Hey Chef, and Dining Dollars cannot pay at vending machines. RavensFlex is a different balance with separate vending rules. 2026–27 Housing lists Dining Services closed December24,2026–January5,2027: last dining-hall breakfast ends December24 at10:30am; first winter dinner begins January5 at4pm. This is separate from ordinary weekly hours.
Mandatory meal plans: Traditional-style residents are enrolled in All-Access; suite-style residents can choose Reduced10 meals/week. Leeds House is the explicit optional-plan exception. All-Access Plus is an upgrade. Residence plans have non-transferable personal access and do not carry into the next academic year; the 2026–27 change policy expires unused Dining Dollars April24,2027.
Cooking and optional plans: Six currently printed Campus Meal Plans2026–27 cards are available: 7-Day All-Access,5-Day All-Access,Reduced,Raven’s100,Raven’s200 and RavensFlex. The introductory text says five, but six actual cards are retained. Campus all-access/reduced plans expire by term; the100/200 swipes do not expire; Flex balances carry over. Refund windows, usage proration and a$50 processing fee apply; this is not a blanket unconditional refund promise.
Partner and college dining: Current CUSA Food&Retail lists Ollie’s and Rooster’s. Its generic three-business sentence is retained as a source discrepancy. CUSA announced Haven closed December6,2024; its2025 signed accounts record closure and third-party building leases in June/July2025. The Wing was recorded closed in October2025 council material; its current future use is not inferred. Carleton’s Fall2026 referendum page says Mike’s Place operations are suspended. A proposed levy effective September2027 depends on a future referendum; reopening is not promised.
Dietary and accessibility needs: Dining Services’ non-franchise icons identify lacto-ovo vegetarian, vegan, no-gluten-ingredient, halal-protein and no-dairy-ingredient items; no-gluten/no-dairy carry cross-contact caveats. A dietitian coordinates individual plans, PAL staff help with ingredients, and restricted pantry access is individually arranged. The2026–27 guide expressly warns online ingredient lists are incomplete and the dining hall is not guaranteed free of priority allergens. These operator policies do not automatically govern CUSA’s separate restaurants. Full branded/ordering-catalogue dietary coverage remains partial.

All six actual Campus Meal Plans2026–27 cards. First three native prices are per term;100/200 are non-expiring swipe packages; Flex is one purchase. Residence package prices remain in held building-specific data.
