We’re proud of everything we’ve accomplished at Ontario Tech over our first 20 years, and thrilled that you’ve chosen to become part of our diverse university community as we build a bright future together. Ontario Tech’s ‘tech with a conscience’ ethos is a key component of our teaching and learning practices. The ethical application of technology guides us in all we do to enhance the well-being of humankind and our planet.

In our classrooms and our labs, you’re not just a number. We are here for you. Our professors and staff want to get to know you so that we can help you reach your goals and make lasting connections. We also have a wide range of student services focused on your physical and mental wellness. In the Registrar’s office (RO), we have teams dedicated to helping our domestic and international students navigate everything from the admissions process and immigration, to course registration and financial aid. Visit the RO online or in-person whenever you need assistance. I know I speak for our entire Ridgeback community when I say we are committed to your success, and I can’t wait to see what your future holds. I look forward to meeting you in September.

  • What is an alternative offer of admission?

    If you do not meet the admission requirements for the program you applied to, or your average was below the cut-off, we may extend an offer of admission to a different program which you are eligible for. 

    Should you later become eligible for your original program choice, your application may be reconsidered if there is space in the program at that time. 

  • Will I receive transfer credit?
    If you've completed post-secondary courses, Advanced Placement (AP) courses or did an International Baccalaureate (IB) program, you may be eligible for transfer credit. To be eligible for transfer credit, the university requires a minimum score of 4 for AP courses and 5 for IB courses. We do not pre-screen for transfer credit. For more information, please visit the transfer credit website
  • Can I get more information about living on campus or off campus?
