Next deadline

  • 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.

Applicant pathways

Conditional Ontario Tech / UK pathway

Degree awarding and progression

DLA dual-institution pathway

  • Three Ontario Tech years plus two UK years. Ontario Tech BA follows successful first UK year; UK LLB follows successful completion of the full pathway. No LSAT required for the stated UK admission route; Canadian/UK professional admission remains separate.

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.
ontariotech admission policy · official applicant policy
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.
ontariotech admission policy · official applicant policy
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.

Study routes
  • Follow the revised Legal Studies curriculum at Ontario Tech for three years, then study at either UK partner for two years. Successful completion of the first UK year completes the Ontario Tech BA; successful fifth-year completion leads to the UK LLB.
  • By the end of Ontario Tech year three, maintain at least cumulative B/3.00 with no course below B−/70%. Prior Advanced Entry to Legal Studies is ineligible.
  • Programme admission does not guarantee Bar admission in Canada or the UK. Current legal professional recognition and licensing requirements require separate regulator review; no JD or automatic professional licence is asserted.
