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.

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.

Requirements

Admission requirements

High-school prerequisites

ENG4UEnglish
MHF4UAdvanced Functions
One of MCV4U, SPH4U or ICS4U

OSSD with six Grade 12 4U/4M credits; competitive admission.
Combined prerequisite computer-science, mathematics and science average at least 70%. Taking all three MCV4U/SPH4U/ICS4U is recommended, rather than required.

Application steps

Step 1Check the admission requirements
- Check the published entry route for your applicant category.

Step 2Apply through OUAC
- Create your application and select this program.
OUACOUAC
Step 3Official secondary school transcript
- Current Ontario secondary school applicants applying through OUAC have their transcript sent by their school through OUAC. Other applicants have it sent directly by the issuer. If direct submission is unavailable, Ontario Tech accepts an issuer-signed, sealed envelope delivered or mailed by the applicant.

Applicant pathways

Distinct published Ontario Tech application route

DIC, DJC.
Academic requirements are scoped to the exact degree/application route shown.

Home-school independent examination evidence

Home-schooled applicants

Ontario Tech evaluates examinations delivered through distance learning or alternative education centres. Parent-generated transcripts may document courses/marks, but must accompany standardized test scores. Include marks from completed distance/alternative-education courses.
Exact programme subjects and other admission requirements still apply. This institutional policy does not certify an unlisted home-school qualification or a test waiver.

Canadian provincial and U.S. secondary credentials

Applicants educated in another Canadian province or the United States

Other Canadian provincial applicants must complete secondary school and satisfy the chosen programme’s subject requirements. U.S. applicants must graduate from high school with the required subjects; individual programme academic thresholds remain separately held.
U.S. applicants provide SAT/ACT results if written. The procedure rejects test results older than five years and says grades are the primary basis, with SAT results not disadvantaging applicants. Country/curriculum-specific subject equivalencies remain separate.

Prior postsecondary entry basis

Applicants applying from another postsecondary institution

Be in good academic standing at the previous institution and present the chosen programme’s prerequisite subjects at a competitive level. The prerequisites may be met through a combination of secondary and postsecondary study.
The faculty sections of the Undergraduate Calendar govern exact subjects. This does not waive special entry, bridge or progression requirements, and admission is separate from transfer-credit assessment.

Mature admission definition

Canadian citizens/permanent residents who do not qualify as secondary-school graduates

Meet all stated category conditions: no completed postsecondary education, at least two years away from formal education, and age21 by December31 of the application year. Required secondary-level programme subjects and a competitive academic record remain necessary.
Mature status alone is insufficient. Exact programme availability and equivalence decisions remain with Admissions.

Approved English for Academic Purposes pathway

Applicants meeting every admission requirement except English proficiency

The procedure permits an approved on-campus or off-campus EAP programme. Successful completion permits the degree programme to begin without further English testing. Approved-provider, programme and individual offer conditions must be checked; no unspecified language school is accepted automatically.

Degree requirements

Complete graduation and progression requirements have not been mapped here. Check the university’s academic calendar.

Courses

Fall 2026 · named courses1 listed

First year has one general elective per semester. Choose one course from each listed programming, calculus and physics alternative group. CSCI 1062U and CSCI 1063U require a programming proficiency test administered at the beginning of the semester. Calculus/physics selection depends on MHF4U and MCV4U preparation; alternative entries are not additional compulsory courses. The source publishes 15 credit hours for this semester; individual course credit weights are not inferred. 1 general-elective slots are printed in this term.

Mapped terms

Two published first-year terms only. Conditional options are kept in term notes. Any course-slot choice share applies only to these mapped positions, not the whole degree or weighted credits.

Course: Fall 2026

Published first-year Fall-start registration map only; later years and advanced-entry routes are outside this map. Each term is published as 15 credit hours. Individual weights are retained only where already held. Students with both Grade 12 Advanced Functions and Calculus and Vectors should take MATH 1010U and PHY 1010U; students without either are directed to MATH 1000U and PHY 1030U. CSCI 1062U/1063U require the beginning-of-semester programming proficiency test. General electives must meet prerequisites, fit the schedule and avoid program restrictions; listed Business/Communication courses are examples, not extra requirements. Conditional course positions: CSCI 1060U OR CSCI 1062U: Programming Workshop I Accelerated Programming Workshop **; MATH 1000U* OR MATH 1010U*: Introductory Calculus OR Calculus I; PHY 1010U* OR PHY 1030U*: Physics I OR Introductory Physics. These are alternatives, not cumulative required courses or unrestricted electives.
