Does Nipissing count night school, summer school and online courses?
We accept all courses completed at Ministry-inspected and -approved schools.
Schools must send midterm and/or final grades for these courses to the OUAC by April 24, 2026, to be included in the regular admission decision timelines.
Schools should submit summer school grades by August 15, 2026.

Algoma, Brock, Carleton, Laurentian, Queen's, RMC, Trent, Guelph, Guelph-Humber, Ottawa, U of T (St. George), Windsor, York
1 university accepts them but reserves the right to ask questions

This is what Nipissing tells Ontario guidance counsellors; it is not published on their student pages. Rules like this change rarely, but confirm anything you are about to act on.
