IV--Admission Information

Application Procedures

Associate Diploma and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine procedures are outlined in the previous section "Admission Requirements". All other undergraduate degree programs follow the procedural chart below.

See information on "Admission Requirements" for specific OAC requirements for the various programs.

The OUAC 101 form may be used by all applicants who are currently enrolled in an Ontario Secondary School as a day school student. The 101s are distributed to students by the secondary schools during the Fall term. Normally applicants will receive an offer of admission to only one program or specialization at the University of Guelph. Applicants who apply to more than one program at the University of Guelph will have their highest choice program considered first. Only in the event that a student is ineligible for admission to the highest choice program will consideration be given to the lower choices.

Students who apply directly to a Co-op program and who are not admitted, will be considered for the regular degree program.

Applicants to the University are requested, where possible, to indicate on the application form their subject of primary interest. In many cases the program code to be inserted on the form will include the subject of primary interest. It should be noted that an offer of admission applies to both the degree program and to the major area of study specified in the offer. Because enrolment in certain courses is limited by the availability of resources, the University cannot guarantee that all students wishing to take a particular specialization will be accommodated.

A student who has applied via the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) will receive a Verification/Amendment form (OUAC 103 form), as soon as the Application Centre has processed the application. This form may be used to make biographical and academic status changes to the original application. If any revisions to the application are made, the University of Guelph will be notified of the applicable changes approximately one week after the OUAC receives the amendment form. Although all amendments are important to the processing of each application, changes to academic program choice, entry points, residence status, surname, mailing and home addresses are of significant importance and should be reported via an OUAC 103 form as soon as the situation arises. Amendments must be received by the published application deadline dates.

Applicants who are not currently enrolled in an Ontario secondary school as a day school student should use the OUAC 105 application form. This includes the following types of applicants: adult, night school, correspondence, those who previously obtained the Secondary School Honour Graduation Diploma or the Ontario Secondary School Diploma.

Applicants who apply to more than one program at the University of Guelph will have their highest choice program considered first. Only in the event that a student is ineligible for admission to the highest choice program will consideration be given to the lower choices. Students who apply directly to a Co-op program and who are not admitted, will be considered for the regular degree program.

All other students applying from within Canada should complete a 105D application form. These applicants would include those applying from:

1. secondary school outside Ontario
2. GEGEP
3. recognized college or university
4. College of Applied Arts and Technology
5. Ontario College of Art

These applicants should contact Admission Services directly for a Special Internal Transfer Application form.

Applying For Internal Transfer or Readmission

University of Guelph students wishing to apply to another program within the University or for readmission should complete the Internal Transfer Application form which is available from Admission Services.
