May 29, 2019 The latest date all high school applicants can expect a response from an Ontario university. This includes an offer of admission; a refusal; or a deferral. once additional information is received. June 3, 2019 The earliest date an Ontario high school student may be required to respond to an Ontario university offer of admission and give a financial commitment (e.g., registration deposit, residence deposit, etc.). Early June to August 2019 The Admission Information Service (AIS) allows you to determine which Ontario universities still have spots available in first-year undergraduate programs.

RESPONDING TO AN OFFER… May 29, 2019 is the latest date to receive a response One of the following will occur: an offer of admission a refusal a deferral, pending the receipt of specific information When you receive an offer, read it carefully Respond to your offer by the deadline Accepting an offer of admission from one university will NOT cancel applications to other universities/programs But you can have only ONE acceptance of an offer on file at one time (if you want to accept another university’s offer, you must first cancel the previously accepted offer) ALL OFFERS ARE CONDITIONAL UPON FINAL GRADES!!!
