    Option 2:  When applying to Ontario based Colleges/Universities On-Line via OCAS/OUAC

    If applying for College or University in Ontario, you can apply and request your Transcripts via one of the two application services:

    OCAS (Ontario College Application Service)

    OUAC (Ontario University Application)

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

    When applying to Ontario Colleges or Universities through OCAS or OUAC, former DSBN students will have the option 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 process, you will require your Ontario Education Number (OEN), which can be found on your report cards or previous transcripts.  For students who attended school prior to 2002 (i.e. before OEN existed) or do not know their OEN, please enter nine zeroes (000-000-000) in the OEN section during your application.
