Applying to Ontario Universities
If you need help with your on-line application, make a Guidance appointment and a counsellor will help you work through your application. The on-line application is the only way to apply to an Ontario University. We would strongly recommend that you apply prior to Christmas holidays.
The application fee is $150.00 for the first three choices. $50.00 for each additional choice. Payment can be by credit card, cheque/money order, internet banking, and telephone banking. An application is not processed unless payment is received.

Applying to Ontario Colleges
When you are ready to apply to an Ontario college, you are encouraged to meet with your Guidance Counsellor to begin your application.
The application fee is $95.00 for five programs or colleges. No more than three choices can be at any one college. Payment can be by credit card or cheque/money order. An application is not processed unless payment is received.

Applying to an Out-of-Province College or University
Most colleges or universities outside of Ontario have online application forms found on the school's webpage. You must inform the Guidance Office if you have applied to a college or university that is outside of Ontario. Guidance will then forward your transcript to the school that you have applied to and keep them up-to-date with midterm and final marks.
Note! The University of Manitoba is an out-of-province university!
