New students
We hope you’re as thrilled as we are that you’re starting this exciting new chapter in your life here at uOttawa. Here’s some information to help guide you through this transition!
Ready, set, go!
Have you accepted your offer?
Instructions on accepting your offer are in your Admission file in uoZone(your student portal) under the Applications tab. Once you accept your offer of admission on OUAC, you’re officially a Gee-Gee!
Will you need housing and a meal plan?
Our residences offer housing on campus or in the surrounding areas. Meal plans depend on which style of residence you live in and how often you plan to eat on campus.
Do you know your student number?
Know your student number and have it on hand! It’s in the email we sent you when you applied. The email includes your uoZone login information as well.
Enrol in your courses
Once you accept your offer of admission, you’ll need to enrol in your courses. For new and incoming undergraduate students, enrolment begins May 23 at 8 a.m. We have lots of enrolment support.
Pssst! You’re not alone — we’re here to help! Your regional mentor — or international mentor if you’re an international student — can help walk you through the steps to enrol.
Do you need financial aid?
We want to help you reach your dream of postsecondary education with the lightest financial burden possible.
Do you need a study permit?
International students must have a valid study permit before starting classes in Canada and ensure it remains valid throughout your program. Apply as soon as you’ve received your offer of admission (even if it’s conditional).
