Undergraduate Admission

    Approved Students - Congratulations!

Top

Here's an outline of the three essential steps to reserve your place:

Confirm Your Offer of Admission via the OUAC

Your Confirmation Deadline Date will be clearly stated in your Offer of Admission. If you applied to Ryerson via the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC), you must visit the OUAC website and select the category that applies to you (OUAC 101 or OUAC 105). Log in using your OUAC Reference Number and your PIN/Password and follow the instructions. When you accept your Offer of Admission via the OUAC, you are agreeing to meet all conditions as stated in your Offer. You must complete this online confirmation process by the Confirmation Deadline Date stated in your official Offer letter from Ryerson. 

When you respond online, you must click on the “Submit” button and follow the steps in order to send your response to the OUAC. A screen displaying your confirmation number will appear immediately after successfully submitting a response which will include a summary of all changes/responses made within that session. You should make note of this number (in writing or by printing the screen) and keep it in a safe place. Successfully submitted responses to Offers of Admission will be processed within one business day.

If you applied to Ryerson using the Ryerson Undergraduate Online Application Form (e.g. current/former Ryerson students, applicants to part-time programs only at Ryerson University and former/current Ryerson Continuing Education students), you must respond directly to Ryerson via your RAMSS account by the Confirmation Deadline Date stated in your Offer of Admission.

If your response is not received by the Confirmation Deadline Date, your Offer of Admission is subject to cancellation.  When you accept an Offer of Admission from one university/program, this will not cancel applications to other universities and/or programs. However you may hold only one accepted Offer of Admission at a time. Before you can accept a subsequent offer online, you must first cancel the previously accepted offer.

International applicants can view and print their official Offer of Admission, as well as their Letter of Acceptance for International Students (LAIS) in the "My Documents" section of their Choose>Ryerson portal. Note that Ryerson does not send admission decisions by courier.

Note: Please allow 48 hours (from the time you view your admission decision via the "My Application Status" feature of your Choose>Ryerson portal) for your admission decision to be reflected on the OUAC site.

How to Make Changes to Your Application or Contact Information

If you applied via the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC): Log in to your online application via the OUAC.  Once you have logged in, click My Application on the navigation bar to access your application information.  If you applied on the Ryerson Application: Submit the Ryerson Change Form directly to Ryerson University. 

By accepting your Offer, you accept all of Ryerson's academic, financial and other policies and procedures as stated in the Ryerson Undergraduate Calendar.  

Pay Your Tuition Deposit

To maintain your admitted status you must pay your tuition deposit on time. For your reference, here's a quick snapshot of amounts, due dates and deposit form.

Allow Ample Time and Avoid Lineups!

You are advised to initiate your tuition payment to Ryerson by no later than Friday, June 28, 2013 to allow post-mail or Internet banking and Ryerson's payment systems to register receipt of your tuition payment by July 5. International applicants must ensure that ample time is permitted to accommodate overseas mail and banking timelines. To avoid lineups, we recommend you pay your full academic year fees, plus all applicable special and departmental ancillary fees, as early as possible.

Be sure to include your full name (as it appeared on your application to Ryerson), Ryerson Number, name of the program to which you've been admitted, and your signature and date as applicable.

Note: Ryerson will not send reminders for your tuition deposit.

Consequences if Your Tuition Deposit is Received Incorrectly or Late

Ryerson strictly enforces payment deadlines. To maintain your admitted status your tuition deposit must be paid correctly and received on time. Non-payment informs Ryerson that you no longer wish to pursue studies at Ryerson, and your place in your program will be cancelled. The acceptance of late payments is solely at the discretion of Undergraduate Admissions at Ryerson University and subject to confirmation of available space. Payments received and processed by Enrollment Services and Student Fees Office after the deadline stated will be reviewed on this basis. 

Visit the following websites for additional information about full fees:

Meet Your Admission Conditions

It is your responsibility to meet the academic admission requirements stated in your Offer, which may include the applicable graduation diploma, required overall average and the subject prerequisites with the required grades. Make sure you review the conditions of your Offer of Admission and confirm that your final marks and overall average fulfill the conditions. Note: You will know whether or not you meet your conditions before Ryerson does. Ryerson does not start reviewing conditional Offers until final grades and standings are received by Ryerson in late July or early August. Ryerson does not verbally extend or remove any conditions of admission. Admission averages are based on two decimal points and are not rounded.

Admission Condition Submission Deadline

If you were given a conditional Offer, you are required to successfully complete all admission requirements by June 30 (unless otherwise stated in your Offer of Admission). Admission requirements must be completed by this date or your Offer of Admission will be revoked. Ryerson does not start reviewing early or conditional Offers until final grades and standings are received in late July or early August. It is your responsibility to seek advice from Undergraduate Admissions and Recruitment immediately if your final report card/transcript does not meet the conditions in your Offer letter.

How to Submit Final Grades

• OUAC 101 - If you applied on this application your guidance counsellor is responsible for sending your final standing and grades to the OUAC who then transmits this information to Ryerson. It is your responsibility to inform your guidance office about enrollment in ALL of your courses, including summer, night, online, and/or correspondence and to verify that all information submitted to the OUAC on your behalf is correct.
• OUAC 105/Ryerson Application - If you applied using either of these applications you are responsible for submitting your officially certified academic transcripts including final results and graduation status to Undergraduate Admissions and Recruitment.  Institutions will forward final official results only upon YOUR specific and personal request.    
• The G. Raymond Chang School of Continuing Education at Ryerson - If you have taken, are taking and/or will take courses through the Chang School, we will obtain your grades internally.
