The Ontario College Application System is a central agency that processes college applications. You can apply online at ontariocolleges.ca starting in October. No PIN numbers are required; instead you will be given a student application number when you apply.
 

The ontariocolleges.ca website outlines all programs at all colleges in Ontario. Also you can use the Find a Program Guide to explore a wide variety of programs including the trades, diploma requirements and collaborative degree programs.
 

There is an application fee of $95. You may select up to five programs with no more than  three program choices at any one college.
 

Come by guidance and look at the college course calendars and the Ontario College Reference Guide. These calendars and guides give specific information on each program of study. It is wise to research your programs of interest to learn about admission requirements, first year courses, highly competitive programs, articulation agreements and campus information. Also, attend the college information sessions at lunch and after school and visit the college by attending the college open house, or by calling to arrange a tour. Be proactive and make informed decisions.
 

You will need to go to the specific college’s website and find the application process for out-of-province students. Often you will need to send them a copy of your transcript at a few different points during the school year. These can be ordered (free of charge while you are a student here) from guidance. You will have to pay an application fee to the college.
 

Offers of admission will be released by the colleges anytime after February 1st. Offers will continue to be issued until programs are filled or wait-lists are established.
