University admissions is a complicated topic. That's why we created our Admissions Top Questions video series. Recruitment and Admissions experts will answer the questions you already have and some you didn't know you should ask - all in less than 5 minutes.
New videos posted every month.
Still have questions? Take a read through the top admissions questions about applying to Laurier.
Once you’ve picked the program you want to apply to and learned about your specific admissions requirements, you can apply through the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC).
You should direct any application process questions to OUAC.
If you're looking for more help with applying, or have questions about the application process, read our more detailed information on how to apply.
If you are a student and you would like to grant consent for the release of information regarding your application to a third party (such as a parent or guardian), you must submit an authorization of information release form. To request this form, email chooselaurier@wlu.ca.
International students who would like to grant consent for the release of information to their education agent can find and complete the Information Release Form in their application portal. The form will be available after you apply.
It is important to check your email often because we will be communicating with you by email over the next few months.
The main way that Laurier will communicate with you is through the personal email address you used on your OUAC application. Tip: you'll need to use an email address that won't expire - that's why we recommend using a personal email you have access to year-round instead of your high school email address.
Once your myLaurier account is ready for activation, we’ll send you an email to the personal email address you used on your application. You can then access your Laurier email by doing the following:
If you have trouble logging in, contact the ICT Student Service Desk at support@mylaurier.ca.
You must enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) to optimize the security of your Laurier single sign-on account. You will be prompted to register for MFA and will have several authentication options including text, push notifications, a security key and the MS Authenticator app. To learn more about the reasons behind MFA (and how to set it up), visit our webpage.
You will also need to register for password self-service by following the instructions below. This will allow you to reset your password or unlock your account in the future.
If you need help, visit the accounts and passwords page on our current student website for how to videos and additional information. You can also contact the ICT Student Service Desk at support@mylaurier.ca.
Once you have applied to Laurier, you will receive an email from us confirming that we have received your application.
Application information is processed in the order in which it is received from OUAC. If you do not receive a confirmation message from us within five days of applying, please check your junk mail first. If you have still not received our email, let us know and we will send you a confirmation. Call 548.889.8888 or email us at chooselaurier@wlu.ca.
You'll need to use your applicant portal to complete your application. Your confirmation of application email will contain your portal account login information.
You will be able to view your application status online through your portal account, in the 'My Applications' tab. You should also use your portal to view a list of documents we require for your application and to view when we receive your documents.
You'll find a list of documents we require to assess your application in the applicant portal. These may include transcripts and/or proof of English proficiency. Transcripts and required documents must be submitted electronically by fall applicants no later than May 12, 2025. If you're an Ontario high school applicant, don't worry – your school will send us your transcripts. If you're applying to start in a term other than fall, please review our complete list of relevant dates and deadlines.
You should submit an Applicant Background Summary (ABS) form within two weeks of applying. The last date to submit is April 25, 2025.
You are also encouraged to apply for an entrance bursary. You could be eligible to receive up to $1,500 for your first year at Laurier. The deadline to apply is May 1, 2025.
We'll email you when you receive an admission decision. Your official offer of admission letter will be posted in your portal account.
If you've received an offer of admission, congratulations! Find your next steps, including how to accept your offer, apply to residence, register for courses, and get set for September, on our Students with Offers page.
