Admissions

Undergraduate and Professional Admissions

All applicants to Ontario Tech University are required to submit their applications via the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC). Non-degree track, international and special visiting students can apply via specialized electronic applications located on the Ontario Tech website.

Students are selected by taking into consideration a wide range of criteria including school marks, distribution of subjects taken, relevance to the academic program and supplementary assessment mechanisms. Possession of the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance. Preference will be given to applicants with the best qualifications. Additional information including admission requirements for various applicant types, changing programs and degrees, honesty in applications and requesting a formal review of an admission decision can be found in the undergraduate and professional admissions policy and procedures sections of the university’s policy library and at admissions.ontariotechu.ca.
