Canadian University Application Accounts & Important Date

Application Deadlines

There are almost no application deadlines that fall before your December holidays for Canadian universities, although we would like to get the bulk of applications submitted by then. 

Notable exceptions:

• Toronto = U of T recommends that applicants submit their OUAC application form by November 7 for Early Consideration. Although their regular application deadlines vary somewhat by program, most fall on January 15.

• Queen's = November 20 if you are selected as the school's Chancellor's Scholarship Nominee or if you plan on applying for another Major Entrance Scholarship.

• UBC = December 1 for Early Admission and Major Scholarship consideration.

• Royal Military College of Canada = AS SOON AS POSSIBLE... if you plan on applying for Admission to ROTP at RMCC, you need to get on with the application process, which involves connecting with a Canadian Forces Recruitment Centre, AS SOON AS YOU CAN!

ALL Other Canadian Universities Applications

The application systems for other Canadian universities are either:

• straightforward enough that we can easily get the applications set up (and even completed) during a regular University Counselling appointment, or

• complicated enough that it is inadvisable for you to do any set up of it on your own; we must work through the process carefully with you during an appointment (or probably two).

Steps to Ordering your Ministry Transcript:

1. Register for a BCeID

   • You need this to log into the ordering website.

   • Once you establish your BCeID, submit your login credentials to the University Counselling team using this Form.

2. Use your BCeID to log into the StudentTranscripts Services website

   • The first time you use this site, you will need to Activate your account and enter your Personal Education Number (PEN). You can find your PEN on MySchool or listed on any of your old Brentwood report cards.

3. Select the Schools to which you want your transcript sent

• Find the destination schools you are looking for... you may need to change the region first.

• Take note:

  • For any Ontario universities, DO NOT select the individual university, rather choose Ontario Universities Application Centre (OUAC).

  • For any Ontario colleges, DO NOT select the individual college, rather choose Ontario College Application Service (OCAS).

• It defaults to what you need... to send your transcript now and when updates are available, so do not change that.

• Be sure to Submit Order and confirm that it has been placed.
