We acknowledge receipt of all applications by email within 7 to 10 business days.

It takes approximately 7-10 days following your online submission and payment of the application fees to the Ontario Universities Application Centre (OUAC) for your file to be received by the University of Ottawa. Once received, an email will be sent out to you by the University. The email will contain your student number, uoAccessID and password to access your uoZone account (your student services portal) and guidelines to upload the required documents.

Save this message, because it contains your access to the uoZone student portal and enables you to track the progress of your application.

Follow these steps to access your admission file:

  1. Go to the Students page.
  2. In the uoZone box, click Login.
  3. Type your uoAccess ID and password.
  4. Click Login.

If you have difficulty accessing your account, make a Service Desk request.

We will be in touch with you regularly to update you on the status of your application.
