Check with your teachers, counsellors, and the university or college calendar to:

• Make sure you have all of the prerequisites for the program.
• Sign up for all the courses you want or need to take.
• If you don’t have all the courses needed, ask if they offer upgrading courses or programs such as Native Access Program.
• February 1st is the college Equal Consideration Date: if you apply after this date, the college will only look at applications as first come first serve until the program is filled.
• Mid-January is the deadline to complete your Ontario Universities’ Application Centre application to attend a University.
• If you are applying to a private college or university, like an Indigenous post-secondary institute, you will need to get the application information from them.
• Apply early to make sure all the forms you need have been filled out and the institution has them.
