COLS Administrator Registration

Quick Links

COLS is available to school officials at all Ontario high schools. For security and confidentiality reasons, all users must register each year, even if they were authorized users in previous cycles.

COLS Administrator Registration

Users who require “Administrator” access to COLS need to complete the online COLS Administrator Registration Form. The COLS Administrator acts as the primary OUAC contact and OUAC gatekeeper for their school. Each school is allowed only 1 COLS Administrator.

Once the OUAC approves access and sends an email with a username and temporary password to the newly registered COLS Administrator, the COLS Administrator can register other users at their school using the “COLS Registrants” option in COLS. The OUAC will then email usernames and temporary passwords to these users.
