What You Need To Know

R   E   S   E   A   R   C   H   !

Start by determining the programs that require courses that you enjoy.  (ie. History, English, Sociology: considering looking at liberal arts or social sciences.  Math, Sciences: consider looking at Business, Engineering, Health Sciences etc.)

Once you have narrowed it down to the Arts, Social Sciences or  Physical or Health Sciences etc. begin to look at programs in those specific fields and see which programs keep popping up as an interest to you.  Look further into whether courses you will be studying first year are of interest to you.  If you do not like the courses, the program may not be for you.

Make sure you research the programs and schools that you are interested in.  DO NOT wait until the month before the deadline to start researching what you want to do.  WE WILL ANSWER QUESTIONS, but cannot make decisions for you.  It is your future and as such, you need to do what makes YOU happy.  Make sure you are aware of the requirements

Admission Requirements:
You will graduate from Centennial with an OSSD (Ontario Secondary School Diploma).  This is the 1st requirement for university admission.  The other main requirement is a minimum of 6 grade 12 U / M courses.  Each university program will have other specific requirements.  Do not assume that each program has the same requirements.  For most schools, prerequisite courses will be included in your top 6, for the calculation of your admission average.  Be sure to investigate the requirement for each school / program.


The Application Process:
Part A: RESEARCH!
















​
Part B :  APPLYING


Ontario University Info:  www.ontariouniversityinfo.ca
​
Select the ACCOUNT tab.  Create an account if this is your first time.  This will allow you to record and track your research.

Program: allows you to research your programs by PROGRAM.  This will provide with prerequisite information and the required courses as well as other useful information.  The UNIVERSITY will let you research the same information by university.

On the right side of the screen you will find:
PROGRAM NEWS: 
  • This will show any recent changes to programs.
Offers of Admission:
  • What is their policy on Alternate offers and/or Multiple offers of admission
  • How are failed, repeated, summer school and / or night school courses handled.

This is not usually done until November.

Ontario University Application Centre: (OUAC) http://www.ouac.on.ca   You will use this site to apply to university.

You will apply using the OUAC 101 application.  Make sure you do not use another application.

In order to apply you will need your PIN # which will be available by mid November.  These will be distributed in the Guidance office.  Stop by to pick them up once you hear the announcements.  (Write down your PIN# and password, do not lose it!).  Record it somewhere safe at home.

You can begin the application process as soon as you receive your PIN #, but this is the last step in the process.  You should be researching through the eINFO site, and by going to the website at each university for the programs you are interested in.  Physically visit the university if at all possible.

Use the following site to access specific information about each school/program (alternate offers, multiple offers, residence info. etc.) http://www.ouac.on.ca/ouac-101/ or the Important Information tab from elec
