OUAC Login, Application Fee, and Status Help
The official OUAC login lives at ouac.on.ca. This page links directly to the applicant login, the Undergraduate application, and TEAS (the separate Teacher Education Application Service), then answers the questions applicants ask most: what the application fee covers, how to check admission status, why a session keeps timing out, and when OUAC opens for the 2027 cycle. Every claim below links to an official OUAC page.

Official OUAC login portals
OUAC runs more than one service from more than one address. Use the card below that matches what you are actually trying to do — signing in with the wrong one is the most common source of “OUAC login” confusion.
Start here to select the correct application (Undergraduate, TEAS, and others) if you do not already have an account or are not sure which application you need.
The separate OUAC service for Bachelor of Education applicants. "OUAC TEAS" is not part of the Undergraduate application — it is its own account and application.
A separate site for Ontario high-school guidance counsellors and the school-side Counsellor On-Line System (COLS), not the student applicant login. If you are an applicant looking for your own account, use the applicant login above instead.
How much is the OUAC application fee?
OUAC’s fee schedule changes between application cycles, so this guide does not print a dollar figure that could go stale. Use the official OUAC Undergraduate fees page for the exact current amount before paying. The structure itself has stayed consistent:
| Fee component | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Base application fee | Covers a set number of university and program choices submitted in the same application. |
| Additional choice fee | Charged for each program choice added beyond the number covered by the base fee. |
| International service fee | Applies to applicants whose mailing address is outside Canada. |
| Program, transcript, or document-evaluation fees | Some universities or program types add a separate fee, and some transcript requests made through the application carry their own charge. |
OUAC fees are generally non-refundable once paid. For a Canada-wide comparison of applicant categories and typical add-ons, see our Canadian university application fees guide.
How do I check my admission status on OUAC?
Your OUAC account shows whether your application was received and sent on— it is not where an admission decision appears. OUAC collects and forwards your application; each university evaluates it and posts decisions, conditions, and any outstanding requirements in its own applicant portal (for example, Join U of T or a similar university-specific dashboard).
Practically: after submitting, watch for an acknowledgement email from every university you applied to, then create or sign in to that university’s own portal. Treat the university portal, not OUAC, as the source of truth for status and decisions.
Why does OUAC keep logging me out?
OUAC’s application portals are session-based, so an inactive session ends and redirects to a logged-out screen. That behaviour is common to session-based web applications in general, not unique to OUAC: leaving a tab open without interacting with it, working across several tabs of the same account, or using the browser’s back button inside the application can each end a session early.
If you are repeatedly signed out, try one browser tab, an up-to-date browser, and save each section as you complete it instead of filling a long section in one sitting. If a session problem prevents you from submitting or paying near a deadline, contact OUAC support directly rather than troubleshooting alone against the clock.
When does OUAC open for the 2027 cycle?
The Undergraduate application is scheduled to open September 17, 2026. OUAC’s own schedule says the startup date is subject to change and successful production testing, so confirm the live application is available before entering information or paying.
September 17, 2026
The 2027 Undergraduate online application is scheduled to start.
January 15, 2027
Deadline for Ontario high school students to submit a completed application to OUAC.
January 15 is the Group A deadline, not a universal deadline for every applicant or program. See our complete Fall 2027 OUAC timeline for every milestone through offer acceptance.
Is “OUAC 105” a separate login from “OUAC 101”?
No — both search terms describe the same one Undergraduate application and the same login. OUAC combined the 101 and 105 applications in 2023 and now assigns every applicant Group A or Group B from their answers inside that single application. See our full 101 vs 105 guide for the current criteria, transcripts, fees, and applicant examples.
What should I do after I submit my OUAC application?
Save your OUAC Reference Number, then watch for an acknowledgement email and applicant-portal invitation from every university you selected. Complete each university’s own checklist — transcripts, language results, supplementary forms, and any interview or portfolio — inside that university’s portal, since a paid OUAC application can still be incomplete at the university.
