Step 1: Double-check your application

 Did you forget anything?

Your list must be from the end of secondary school to your expected start date. This isn't required for current Ontario secondary school students. If there’s a timeframe when you didn’t participate in any activities and didn’t attend school, you must state "no activities."
  • Applying for readmission? You must include an outline of your activities since you were last enrolled in your program and submit updated academic transcripts (if applicable).
