Check our website on undergraduate admissions to find out everything your students need to know about how to apply for admission as undergraduates at the University of Ottawa, specifically: admission requirements, deadlines, study programs, events and contact information.

Documents

One of the most common questions we get from students is how they should submit documents to support their admission request. We ask applicants to upload all documents necessary to evaluate their application using uoDoc in their uoZone account. A list of required documents and instructions on how to submit them is available on the application.

If the student is admitted, we will ask for official documents to be sent by regular mail. Details will be included in the student’s offer.

Declaration of Personal Experience

At the University of Ottawa, we believe that grades don’t always tell the whole story. Maybe a student's academic history is unusual or they’ve faced personal challenges. Students can improve their chances of admission by filling out a Declaration of Personal Experience if their academic average is below the minimum average listed for the program that interests them. A declaration can only be submitted by Canadian citizens, permanent residents or those having refugee status.

Academic Accommodation

Does your student have an Individualized Education Program (IEP)? If so, we invite you to consult our academic accommodation service.
