The OUAC assists the following out-of-province universities with collecting academic data for Ontario high school students who have applied through the OUAC:
- Acadia University
- Bishop’s University
- University of British Columbia
- Concordia University
- Dalhousie University
- McGill University
- Saint Mary’s University
- Simon Fraser University
- University of Victoria
Students who apply to these out-of-province universities can authorize the universities to request their academic information from the OUAC. To authorize, the applicant must include their 11-digit OUAC Reference Number on the institution’s application form.
In all cases, the 11th digit should be “0”.
This automated transfer of academic data greatly reduces the workload for high schools by eliminating the need to prepare and mail hard-copy transcripts.
