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.

These identifiers are for internal use only and do not affect the equivalency.
Students can enrich their studies and hone their management skills with the Optional Specialization in Management Sciences. Courses within the optional specialization cover four major areas in management sciences: Strategic Engineering Management, Operations Management/Operations Research, Finance and Organizational Behaviour. For eligibility, registration, and course information see Optional Specialization in Management Sciences (OS MS) .
Students should contact supervisors whose research interests them by email or in person. Students must give their potential supervisor an unofficial transcript (opens in new window) , a one-page resumé and a brief covering letter. This package must include their contact information, degree program and stream, a brief statement of their career goals and how this research experience would further those goals, and any relevant work experience (paid or volunteer).
Students must take three lower level liberal studies courses and three upper level liberal studies courses to graduate. Students must not choose courses that are restricted for their program or major.

Work and practical requirements

Students wishing to transfer from the part-time to the full-time Computer Science degree program must complete all of the courses from the first two years of the full-time program in order to apply to transfer. Students who transfer from part-time to full-time are not eligible for the co-op program.
Students must successfully complete 4 co-op WKT’s in order to graduate from their program of study with a Co-op designation. Once the requirements are satisfied being able to do another work term is at the discretion of the Career & Co-op Centre.

Grades and academic standing

To be admitted into the co-op program, students must have all first year courses completed and a CLEAR Academic Standing and a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 at the end of the 2nd semester of their first year, or receive departmental approval. To stay in the co-op program, students must maintain a CLEAR Standing and minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00, or receive departmental approval.
Students will have to declare their intention to pursue the Concentration at the end of winter semester in Year 2. The program, at its discretion, may limit access to the Concentration based on space availability in the Concentration courses or to students achieving a minimum CGPA.
