Does Ontario Tech give you an alternative offer if you miss your first choice?
Applicants who do not meet the admission requirements, or whose applications we cannot accommodate due to space limitations, may receive an offer to a closely related program.
Ontario Tech University, quoted from the OUAC guide for guidance counsellors, September 2026 entry.
How that compares

Algoma, Brock, Carleton, Lakehead, Laurentian, Nipissing, Trent, Windsor, Laurier (Waterloo), York
4 universities do not make alternative offers at all
OCAD, Queen's, Guelph-Humber, Western
1 university decides each of your choices separately instead
McMaster
1 university drops you from co-op to the regular program, but no further
Guelph
This is what Ontario Tech 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.
