Transcripts required for Post-Secondary Application in ONTARIO (OCAS/OUAC)
If planning to attend College or University in Ontario, request your Transcripts via a Post-Secondary Application Service (OCAS or OUAC). This is the fastest method for post-secondary institutions in Ontario to receive your transcript.
If you are a former student of the District School Board of Niagara, and are applying online to an Ontario university or college through OUAC (Ontario University Application Centre) or OCAS (Ontario College Application Service), you must order your transcript as part of their online registration process.
University application: http://www.ouac.on.ca/ouac-105/
College application: http://www.ontariocolleges.ca/home
OCAS and most Universities require that your transcript be sent from the Records Centre.
When registering on the OUAC/OCAS website, your transcript fee ($20) will be added to your application fee and will be processed via the payment options available (i.e. credit card).
Students who attended school prior to 2002 will not have an OEN (Ontario Education Number). You will need to enter nine zeroes (000-000-000) in the OEN section, if you do not have an assigned number or if you do not know your OEN.
You only need to request one high school transcript and OUAC/OCAS will forward your transcript to all of your university/college choices. If you are applying to more than three universities or more than three colleges, you will be informed by OCAS or OUAC, if you need to request more copies.
If you graduated from a secondary school this year, and then completed credits during summer school, those marks/credits will be electronically transmitted from your home school to OCAS and OUAC after mid-August.
You will be able to track on-line the status of your application and transcript request through your OUAC/OCAS account.
