Beware of fraud

The services of an agency are not mandatory to apply at the University of Ottawa. If you use the services of an agency, we recommend that you choose one from our list of approved partners. Make sure you have access to your account information and the e-mail address used for your application at all times.

Check the minimum admission requirements

If you are applying from a secondary school, you must meet the following conditions for admission to an undergraduate program:

  • Have obtained, or be in the process of obtaining, your Lise Diplomasi
  • Have achieved a minimum average of 80/100 (requirements can be higher depending on your chosen program)
  • Meet our language requirements
    • If you are applying for a program offered in English: submit your official score in a uOttawa-recognized English proficiency test.
    • If you are applying for a program offered in French: submit your official score in both uOttawa-recognized French and English proficiency tests.
      • For the French language test, you must achieve a minimum overall score of 65% with a minimum score of 16/25 on the Production écrite component.

Space is limited and admission is competitive and not guaranteed. The University of Ottawa reserves the right to deny admission even if an applicant meets all requirements.

If you are currently studying in a French Lycee, IB curriculum, GCE curriculum or an American High School, please consult the pages specific to your situation.

Prepare your required documents

Once you have submitted your application and received your acknowledgment of receipt, you can submit your documents in uoZone. If you are currently in your senior year, submit the following documents:

  • Transcript covering your past three years of secondary studies
  • English proficiency test results and/or French proficiency test
  • Transcript of results from the first term of your final year
