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.

Notes:
- The Secondary School Data Collection Sheet is part of the online registration form.
- School board officials who require access to COLS must complete the COLS School Board Registration Form [PDF].
