Student Data Transfer for Ontario College & University Applications

To apply to an Ontario college or university for the 2025-2026 school year, the Halton District School Board must securely send your academic and personal information to the official application centres [Ontario College Application Service for college (OCAS) and Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) for university].

• What's happening? We are uploading student data for college and university applications.

• When? The first upload is on October 1, 2025.

• Why is this needed? It's a required step to create your application.

• What if my plans change? If your info is uploaded but you later decide not to apply, the application centres will securely delete your data and will not keep it.

Not Applying? You Can Opt-Out.

If you are certain you will not be applying to college or university for the 2025-2026 school year, you can request that we don't upload your information.

• How to Opt-Out: Contact Ms. Norton, Guidance Administrative Assistant by Tuesday, September 30th by 3:00pm.

• Important: You should not opt-out if you plan to apply, or think you might change your mind and decide to apply later in this school year. 

Please note the following equal consideration application deadlines for the 25/26 school year:

January 15, 2026:  Ontario Universities

February 1, 2026:  Ontario Colleges
