  2. Transcripts required for Post-Secondary On-Line Application in ONTARIO (OCAS/OUAC)

    If planning to attend College or University in Ontario, request your Transcripts via either.

    OCAS and OUAC are the fastest services for post-secondary institutions in Ontario to receive your Official Transcript. You will be able to track the status of your application and transcript request on-line through your OCAS/OUAC account. 

    Former students of the District School Board of Niagara applying on-line to an Ontario College or University through OCAS or OUAC will be required to order a transcript as part of the online registration process.  The Official Transcript fee ($20) will be added to the on-line application and processed directly by OCAS or OUAC.  OCAS/OUAC will forward your Official Transcript to your college/university choices.  When you apply to more than three colleges or three universities, OCAS/OUAC will advise if you require additional copies of your Official Transcript and any related additional fees.

    For the OCAS/OUAC Application, you will require your Ontario Education Number (OEN), which can be found on your report cards.  For students who attended school prior to 2002 (i.e. before OEN existed) or do not know their OEN enter nine zeroes (000-000-000) in the OEN section.
