View the new how-to apply videos available on the OUAC website.

There have been 2 changes to the process as of September 2024:

There is a common application form now for students who are currently in high school AND student who have been out of high school for more than one year.

PIN #’s will no longer be used for the application form.  Instead students will apply using their personal Ontario Education Number (OEN). This is a different number than your Student Number.  The OEN is found on any report card  you have ever received and on a graduation summary sheet given to you by guidance.
