OUAC. Ontario high schools report midterm/final 4U/M grades
2027 entry
School deadline, not a student task. Universities receive these grades by November 26. Verbatim: "Deadline for the OUAC to receive all midterm or final grades available for 4U/M courses from Ontario high schools. Schools may report in-progress grades for full-year courses as soon as they are available." Universities receive these by the target date of November 26, 2026. This is a deadline on the high school, not on the student, but it governs which grades a university sees in the first round.
Official deadline

No single OUAC deadline
University, program, transcript, portfolio, interview, and audition dates still apply

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.

Placement and contract terms

Complete published building roster and leased-property boundary

The full current residence directory individually profiles 18 Waterloo and four Brantford properties. Several apartment towers contain university-leased units, so the named building does not mean Laurier owns or occupies the entire tower. Named wings/floor counts are not converted into extra buildings.

Regina price and capacity remain unresolved

Regina Residence is distinct from 260 Regina St Apartments. The style summary gives ten shared-double beds while the Regina profile says 22 first-year residents. The current 2026–27 fee table lists no rate for Regina’s regular shared-double apartment category. No price is borrowed from another building or Brantford category, and no capacity is selected from conflicting figures.

Current campus-specific meal wording and generic conflict

Current application instructions require meal plans for Waterloo residence and make Brantford convenience plans optional. The dining page repeats optional Brantford plans later, but its generic introduction says all residence students require a meal or convenience plan. The campus-specific wording and conflict are retained. No new universal required flag is inferred.

Winter 2027 launch and date boundary · Winter 2027

Current informational page says Winter 2027 applications have launched: Waterloo for incoming/current first-years and Brantford for first- and upper-years. The exchange section still labels its Winter deadline TBD. Published June 1, 2026 Fall/full-year dates are not a Fall 2027 guarantee or a new Winter deadline. No portal or form was opened.

Laurier published residence meal-account refunds and expiry

The complete OneCard refund page qualifies the broad non-refundable wording: a residence refund can be considered only after voiding course registration and withdrawing from residence with keys returned. It is prorated from completed withdrawal/notice and costs $25. Residence Flex is generally described as non-refundable/non-transferable alongside that separate full-withdrawal review procedure; prior carry-forward is expressly excluded from refunds. Unspent Flex becomes taxable food carry-forward April 30 and that balance expires when enrollment ceases. Leaving residence while remaining enrolled does not itself release full agreed fees.

Laurier convenience accounts are different from residence Flex

Dining Club and Brantford convenience options use the voluntary Convenience account. Its nominal no-term-expiry wording is qualified by active enrollment and 24 months of inactivity: the latter deactivates the account and forfeits remaining funds. Refund requests cost $25, and balances of $25 or less are non-refundable. Residence food Flex cannot buy textbooks or printing or be converted into Convenience funds. No convenience refund is applied to a residence meal balance.

Laurier current campus and tariff-year boundaries

The dining introduction says all residence students need a mandatory or convenience plan, while its Brantford section calls those three plans optional. Fresh residence application guidance expressly requires Waterloo plans and says Brantford students may choose one, preserving the precise campus rule. That application describes September 2026–April 2027 occupancy, but the dining tariff table has no independent year heading. No future-year tariff or Milton residence requirement is invented. The September 30 meal-change cutoff also has no year printed.

Laurier meal-plan selection and end-date wording

The complete current dining policy permits plan-change requests until September 30, then locks the academic-year selection. It says validity runs from fall start until 24 hours after winter residence move-out; the OneCard refund page separately says All-Access expires at April term end. Both printed descriptions remain source-scoped, with no exact future date inferred. Private order/payment controls are not operated.

Meal plans and dietary needs

Published meal plans: Residence All-Access expires after its April meal term. Unspent residence Flex transfers April 30 to a taxable food carry-forward account, non-refundable and valid only while enrolled; it expires when enrollment ends. A residence meal refund is considered only after both course-registration withdrawal and residence withdrawal/key return, prorated with $25 fee. Voluntary convenience balances carry while active, but 24 months without activity deactivates the account and forfeits funds; refunds cost $25 and balances at or below $25 cannot refund.
Mandatory meal plans: Current residence application guidance explicitly requires all Waterloo dormitory and apartment residents to have a meal plan. Waterloo offers five-day or seven-day All-Access and an Apartment Flex plan. Brantford residence guidance and the campus-specific dining section explicitly describe a convenience plan as a choice, despite blanket all-resident wording in the dining introduction. No Milton mandate is inferred.
Cooking and optional plans: Waterloo Dining Club deposits are Golden Hawk $1,200, Gold $800 and Purple $300 with 50% campus tea/coffee discount and three/two/one dining passes. Brantford optional convenience choices are Comfort $680, Study $565 or Welcome $480 per term. These voluntary convenience balances are separate from residence meal plans and have their own inactivity/refund conditions.
Partner and college dining: Residence meal-plan Flex is food-only, not Bookstore or printing funds. Waterloo food acceptance includes Byte 75, Fresh Food Company, Terrace vendors, Starbucks, Subway, Tim Hortons, Frank’s and Wilf’s. Separate voluntary Convenience accounts can cover approved food plus named retail/printing uses. Brantford partners are Chinese Sisters, Boston Pizza, Sunset Grill, Nine North, The Works, Gino’s Pizza and The Belmont, including off-campus locations.
Dietary and accessibility needs: Fresh Food Company offers alternatives for allergies and food intolerances.

Nine separately scoped published university plan/membership options. Price table has no independent academic-year heading; residence application dates are 2026–27 context only. Included Flex and levies are not extra charges. Dining Club and Brantford convenience accounts are distinct from residence food Flex.
