Marks and universities
When we send marks to the OUAC.
Ontario schools do not send marks continuously. They report on a fixed schedule, and a university can only consider a mark it has already received. If a course is meant to raise a mark before offers go out, the date that matters is the report it lands in.
- We report the Grade 12 marks we have so farMidterm or final marks for 4U and 4M courses.
- November 19, 2026
- We report final first-semester marksThe last report most offers are decided on, so a first-semester retake has to be finished by now.
- February 11, 2027
- We report later and interim marks
- April 22, 2027
- We report final marks for the year
- July 8, 2027
- Summer school marks are collected from Ontario schools
- August 2 to 31, 2027

United States
Common App
American universities set their own deadlines rather than working to a shared one. Early action and early decision usually close in the autumn, and regular decision in the winter, but the dates differ from one university to the next, as do the admission tests each one wants. Check the admissions page of every university on the list, and bring them to us early.
For the full Ontario university timeline, including when offers arrive and when you have to answer them, see OUAC dates for 2027 university applications. International families paying from abroad should also note that tuition is due 30 days before the first day of attendance, which Pay Tuition covers.
Dates confirmed against the OUAC, Ontario Colleges and UCAS published schedules in October 2026. The application centres revise them each year.
