Helping Your Students Accept an Offer

June 2, 2025, is the earliest date Ontario universities may require a response to an offer of admission or a financial commitment of any kind (e.g., registration or residence deposit).

To ensure your students meet their selected universities’ response deadlines:

Run a report for unconfirmed students
  1. Log in to COLS.
  2. Run an Applicant Status Report using “unconfirmed only” as your selection criteria.
Share these resources about how to respond to an offer (and not skip the Submit process)
Remind them not to wait until the last day
  • Students must accept their offer by the deadline specified in their offer letter. It is their responsibility to meet the deadlines stipulated by the universities.
  • The universities reserve the right to revoke acceptances received by the OUAC after the response deadline. They cannot guarantee that they will re-issue offers that were not accepted by the deadline.

Before the response deadline, ensure all your students remember their OUAC username and password.
