Overview
Ontario Tech University at a glance
Start with the program you want, then open the page for each decision. Every page lists its official Ontario Tech sources and marks which facts are confirmed for Fall 2027 and which are still from the 2026 cycle.
Fall 2027 cycle status
2027 pending · Fall 2027
Ontario Tech's Ontario high-school applicant page still publishes the Fall 2026 sequence: a January 15 OUAC application date, February 19 major-scholarship deadline, offers or waitlist decisions by May 28, offer acceptance and residence-guarantee applications by June 1, tuition deposit by June 5, early-application documents (Nursing, Medical Laboratory Science) by July 10, and final upgraded marks by August 14. No Fall 2027 dates are published yet.
The January 15 OUAC date recurs annually, so treat January 15, 2027 as the working planning date—but verify the applicant page and OUAC once the Fall 2027 cycle is posted, especially for early-application Nursing and Medical Laboratory Science.
