How To Apply: Part-Time Undergraduate Applicants

The first big step of the application process and your post-secondary future is finding the perfect program for you!

Once you’ve found a program you’re interested in, check the Admission Requirements section on the program page to make sure you’re eligible to apply and will meet all of the program prerequisites.

If you would rather take individual courses than a full program, you can apply as a part-time student without declaring a degree. To be admitted as a non-degree student, you must show proof of completion of an undergraduate degree program.

Note: In addition to the program prerequisites, the Indigenous Social Work program requires additional documents as part of your application. For more information, visit the Admission Requirements section of the program page.

Once you’ve decided on one or more programs, create an account on the Ontario Universities Application Center (OUAC) website and then complete the part-time undergraduate application form.

If you’re applying as a student without declaring a degree, select Non-Degree instead of a program in the OUAC portal.

Deadlines for all programs (except for programs with specific deadlines):

• September / Fall entry - August 1st
• January / Winter entry - December 1st
• May entry - April 1st

Program-specific deadlines:

• Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work (September entry only) - March 16th
• Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work (May entry only) - January 26th 

Note: Applications received after the deadlines will be considered for the next available entry.
