OUEvents Registration - What You Need to Know
Registration for OUEvents opens in early August, and everyone is strongly encouraged to sign up.
The OUEvents Pass is used for the Ontario Universities' Fair and Regional Fairs registration. It is a personalized QR code that allows registrants to instantly share their contact information with the universities they are interested in.
Information Sessions attendees must sign up for the virtual event to access the event website.
Do not sign up for any event on behalf of students. For privacy reasons, individuals must complete their own registration for all OUEvents.
