Does Ottawa count night school, summer school and online courses?
We treat all courses taken through a Ministry-inspected and approved institution as equal for the purpose of calculating an admission average.
University of Ottawa, quoted from the OUAC guide for guidance counsellors, September 2026 entry.
How that compares
Ottawa accepts them as equal, provided the school is Ministry-inspected — the same as 13 of the 23 Ontario universities that answer this.
7 universities accept them but enforce a hard cut-off date
Lakehead, McMaster, Nipissing, OCAD, TMU, Western, Laurier (Waterloo)
1 university accepts them but reserves the right to ask questions
Waterloo
This is what Ottawa 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.
