Am I a Group A or Group B applicant?

Group A Applicants

If you are a Group A applicant, there are specific dates and deadlines in your application process.

Application, Offer and Response Deadlines

date_range

January 15, 2025

The deadline for Group A applicants to submit their completed applications to the OUAC.

Note: The OUAC will continue to process applications received after this date and distribute them to the Ontario universities; however, specific university deadlines will apply.

date_range

May 29, 2025

The latest date all Group A applicants who submitted their application by the January application deadline can expect a response from an Ontario university. This includes an offer of admission, a refusal or a deferral, once additional information is received.

date_range

June 2, 2025

The earliest date a Group A applicant may be required to respond to an Ontario university offer of admission and give a financial commitment (e.g., registration deposit, residence deposit).

All other admission-related elements, including scholarships, other forms of student assistance or financial incentives, and offers of residence, are considered part of the offer of admission. Therefore, a student may accept these other offers before June 2, 2025, but Ontario universities will not compel a student in any way to make a decision before this date.

Group B Applicants

Application Deadlines

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.
