The University of Ottawa
The university is located in the heart of Ottawa, the
nation’s capital. You are within walking distance
of the Parliament buildings, museums, libraries
and the National Arts Centre. You will enjoy a
safe and friendly campus, and have easy access
to the resources of the capital. Ottawa is one of
the most beautiful cities in North America, only a
few hours away from Montréal and Toronto. Over
the years, numerous links have been established
between the University, research institutes, teaching
hospitals, government agencies and employers
from the private sector. As a result, University of
Ottawa students receive cutting‑edge scientific and
intellectual training.
Language of Instruction
If you wish to apply to programs where the
language of instruction is French, you must refer to
the French section of the 101 application package
and use the appropriate program codes.
French Immersion Studies/Extended French Stream
If you studied French as a second language in
an English high school or CEGEP, you have an
opportunity to obtain your bachelor’s degree
with the “French immersion” designation for
many programs, or the “Extended French Stream”
designation for programs offered by the Faculty
of Science. This option is tailored to the personal
linguistic objectives of all students aspiring to
improve or perfect their French-language skills. For
more information, visit: www.immersion.uOttawa.ca.
Supplementary Administrative Fee
All applicants (except those who are currently
attending final year of a Canadian high school
or a CEGEP program in the province of Quebec)
are required to pay, directly to the OUAC, a $70
non‑refundable administrative fee.
University Transfers
Applications for transfer are accepted by most
undergraduate programs but spaces in second, third
and fourth year are limited. The minimum admission
average varies according to the program. You must
submit official transcripts for the last three years of
high school and for all postsecondary institutions
attended. Advanced standing may be granted for
completed course work pertinent to your program
of studies.
Mature Applicants
If you do not meet the normal requirements you
may be admitted as regular degree students
provided you:
1. are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident;
2. have not been engaged in full‑time studies for a
minimum period of two consecutive years;
3. are considered, by the Admissions Committee,
to hold promise of academic success (part‑time
studies or relevant experience);
4. meet the specific prerequisites of the program
requested.
Information about our programs and the application
process is available at www.uOttawa.ca or in one of
our publications.
Applicants for part‑time studies or applicants who
have previously studied at the University of Ottawa
must use the University of Ottawa online application
forms. These forms can be found on the University
of Ottawa website.
