The OUAC’s Statement of Commitment to Accessibility
In fulfilling our mission, the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) always strives to provide its services in a way that respects the dignity and independence of persons with disabilities. We are also committed to giving persons with disabilities equal opportunity to access and benefit from our services.
We have a history of providing top-quality services based on communicating and transferring information between:
- the OUAC and applicants,
- the OUAC and high schools, and
- the OUAC and universities.
As such, we are committed to providing accessible communications in the following ways:
- All publications the OUAC produces are available in alternative formats for all disabilities, upon request.
- When requested, alternative formats will be made available within a timely manner and at no additional cost.
Documents required under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005, are available upon request.
