Ontario prerequisites and current expected cut-offs

Program	Required courses	Current planning range
Engineering	ENG4U (minimum 60%), MHF4U, MCV4U, SCH4U, and SPH4U within six 4U/M courses	Minimum 70% combined math/science average with no prerequisite below 60%; current expected cut-offs run from the low 70s (Nuclear) to the high 70s (Mechatronics) by discipline
Computer Science	ENG4U, MHF4U, and one of MCV4U, SPH4U, or ICS4U within six 4U/M courses	Minimum 70% combined prerequisite average; last year's cut-off was 75% and the current expected cut-off is 73%
Collaborative Nursing	ENG4U (minimum 60%), SBI4U, SCH4U, and one of MHF4U, MCV4U, or MDM4U within six 4U/M courses	Current expected cut-off mid- to high 80s; at least 65% in the required mathematics course is recommended
Commerce	ENG4U and one of MHF4U, MCV4U, or MDM4U, with at least 60% in both, within six 4U/M courses	Current expected cut-off low 70s
Health Sciences	ENG4U, SBI4U, and one of MHF4U, MCV4U, or MDM4U within six 4U/M courses; SCH4U is recommended for Human Health Science	Current expected cut-off mid-70s
Medical Laboratory Science	ENG4U (minimum 60%), SBI4U, SCH4U, and one of MHF4U or MCV4U within six 4U/M courses	Early-application program; last year's cut-off was 83% and the current expected cut-off is in the low 80s

“Expected cut-off” is Ontario Tech's current planning language, not a guaranteed acceptance average. The actual threshold can change with the applicant pool and available space.

Fall 2027 deadline status

Milestone	Fall 2027 date	What to do
Fall 2027 Ontario high-school application	Not yet published	Use OUAC and Ontario Tech's applicant page when the 2027 cycle opens; do not reuse January 15, 2026.
Fall 2027 major entrance scholarships	Not yet published	The current page says the 2026–2027 competition is closed; wait for a new application and deadline.
Fall 2027 offer acceptance and residence guarantee	Not yet published	The published June 1 date applies to Fall 2026, not automatically to Fall 2027.
Fall 2027 tuition deposit	Not yet published	Use the date in the new offer and applicant portal once Ontario Tech publishes it.

Ontario Tech has not published Fall 2027 applicant dates

The current applicant page still lists January 15, February 19, May 28, June 1, and June 5 milestones for Fall 2026. Treat those only as the previous cycle. Nursing and Medical Laboratory Science also use early-application rules, so verify the exact 2027 program deadline before applying.

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.
