Application for Admission

All applicants seeking Special Student status must complete the Special Student Admission Application and submit it with the $50 non-refundable application fee to the Office of the Registrar at 115 McCaul Street. Application for admission must be made at least four weeks prior to the first week of classes. Payment of the application fee does not guarantee admission to the university, nor does it guarantee registration in a course.

Eligible applicants must submit all required admission documentation to the Office of the Registrar before their admission can be approved. Documents must be original (no photocopies or faxes) and may include, where applicable, post-secondary academic transcripts, proof of professional status, proof of English language proficiency and proof of citizenship or immigration status.

Students who have applied for and been denied admission as a Program Student may not register for any further courses at the Ontario College of Art & Design. This denial of admission status can be reversed by a successful reapplication for admission to a degree program at the University.
