  • English language proficiency (if applicable).

  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. 

• How do I register for courses?
  Once you have accepted your final or conditional offer of admission to the university, and your deposit has been received and processed, you will be able to register for courses when your registration window opens.
  
  Priority registration for newly admitted students takes place in late June/July and is done entirely online through the MyOntarioTech website. Keep in mind that you should register as soon as possible for access to the broadest selection of courses.
  
  You will receive information about registering for courses from the Registrar's office in June.
• Am I eligible for transfer credit?
  If you completed 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. For more information, please visit the transfer credit website. 
• How do I update my email address or mailing address?

  Email is our primary method of communication. We recommend you check your email regularly to ensure you receive information in a timely fashion. Should you change your email address, be sure to notify Ontario Tech University by amending your OUAC application or by contacting the Registrar's office.

  If you have accepted an offer of admission to Ontario Tech and are moving or relocating for the summer, you must inform the university of your change of address. Failure to notify Ontario Tech may result in a delay in receiving important information. If your address has changed or will be changing, notify the university by amending your OUAC application or by contacting the Registrar's office.
