When To Start Applying

COLLEGE & UNIVERSITY APPLICATIONS

Colleges begin accepting applications on a specific date and cut off applicants once a program is full so the earlier you apply, (make sure it is not before their opening date), the better.

Universities begin accepting applications in early Oct. and consider each application based on a specific set of course/grade criterion, not necessarily how early you’ve applied.  They stop accepting applications on a specific date.
       
To apply to an institution - Students either apply directly to the individual school or use a provincial post-secondary application service.  This is dependent on the school and where it is located.  (Note:  Most institutions use an applications service, otherwise it will be clearly indicated on their website.)  Students will need their 9 digit P.E.N. number and a credit card.
