University of Windsor
Windsor, Ontario
The University of Windsor is in Windsor, Ontario, on the Detroit River. It lists 190 undergraduate programs, and its automatic entrance scholarship reaches $16,000.
The short answer
- Ontario high-school students apply through OUAC (the Ontario Universities' Application Centre, Ontario's university application site). January 15 is OUAC's recurring deadline, so plan for mid-January 2027.
- Most programs need a 70% average with six Grade 12 U/M courses (university or university/college preparation courses), including ENG4U. Engineering asks 74% and Nursing 75%.
- For 2026-2027, first-year residence was guaranteed if you applied by June 5, 2026. Rooms ran $9,000 to $11,768 for the year, plus a required meal plan.
- The automatic entrance scholarship uses your best six grades available May 1. It pays $16,000 over eight terms at 95% to 100%, and $1,000 at 85% to 89.99%.
- Co-op versions ask for a higher average, such as 78% for Business Administration (Co-op) instead of 73%.

Ontario Universities With Co-op
Direct-entry and later-entry co-op models, work terms, fees, and questions to ask.
University of Windsor applicants need to distinguish the 70% OSSD baseline from the program minimums that sit above it, plan for the second subject average that decides Business, Computer Science, Engineering, Science and Nursing offers, read the real Fall 2025 faculty averages rather than an invented acceptance rate, ignore a deadline page that still publishes January 15, 2024, and price the 2025/26 tuition schedule plus approved 2026/27 increases against the entrance scholarship ladder, the June residence guarantee, and the mandatory meal plan. This guide keeps those decisions on one canonical, official-source-backed page.
