Every entrance scholarship at Laurier (Waterloo), and what your average is worth

When Laurier (Waterloo) decides, and what happens after

In Laurier (Waterloo)’s own words to guidance counsellors, from the OUAC resource guide (September 2026 entry). That guide was written for last cycle, so a line carrying a specific 2025 or 2026 date is marked — the pattern holds, the date does not.

When offers go out

We will make offers by May 28, 2026. Students must respond by June 1, 2026, at 11:59 pm (ET).last cycle’s date

Deferring your offer

Students may request a 1-year deferral by August 1, 2026. Deferrals are not guaranteed.last cycle’s date

Tuition deposit

We require a $2,000 tuition deposit from all undergraduate international students who accept an offer of admission. The tuition deposit is not an additional fee. It will be applied to the first-term tuition balance once the student enrolls in courses.

OUAC dates that apply to everyone

The 2026–27 (entry September 2027) schedule from OUAC’s counsellor site, checked 2026-08-20. The source. The dates you act on yourself; the school-to-OUAC and OUAC-to-university transmission dates are on the full calendar.

• August 2026youThe OUAC relaunches Ontario Universities' Info and starts posting application material for fall 2027 admission. This is the month the information appears, not the month you can apply.
• Mid-September 2026not published by OUACyouThe OUAC application opens for Ontario high school students. OUAC has not published an exact date for this cycle — anything you see online naming a specific day is not coming from OUAC.
• January 15, 2027youThe deadline for Ontario high school students to submit their completed application. This is the one date everybody knows — but several supplementary applications land before it. The OUAC still processes applications received after this date, though individual university deadlines then apply.
• May 28, 2027youThe latest date you can expect a response if you applied by January 15 — an offer, a refusal, or a deferral of admission.
• June 1, 2027youThe earliest date a university can require you to respond to an offer or pay a deposit. Scholarships, financial aid and residence all count as part of the offer: you may accept them earlier if you want to, but nothing can be demanded of you before this date.
