Ontario Universities' Application Centre

The Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) is a non-profit organization that acts as a central bureau for managing the processing of applications to universities in the Canadian province of Ontario. The OUAC was founded in 1971 by the Council of Ontario Universities and the Ontario Universities' Council on Admissions, as the benefits of central application processing were recognized.

Currently, the OUAC handles undergraduate applications, and professional applications for Ontario's medical, law, education, and rehabilitation sciences programs. Applications are handled on-line through the OUAC's "Compass" system, and may alternatively be handled as paper applications.

The OUAC is located in Guelph, Ontario.

Famous quotes containing the words application and/or centre:

    My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.
    Clara Barton (1821–1912)

    To make our idea of morality centre on forbidden acts is to defile the imagination and to introduce into our judgments of our fellow-men a secret element of gusto.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
