Nipissing deadlines, September 2027 entry

OUAC closes January 15, 2027 for everyone. At Nipissing University, 18 programs publish their own dates on top of OUAC's.

Every date here says where it came from. Dates from last cycle are labelled as such and are never shown as this year’s. Confirm anything you are about to act on with Nipissing.

Dates Nipissing prints on its program listings

From each program’s own entry on OUInfo for 2027 entry, grouped where several programs carry the same wording. These are the dates that differ program to program — the ones a student reading only OUAC’s calendar would miss.

Supplementary applications at Nipissing

1 program at Nipissing asks for more than marks. We have not verified their closing dates on Nipissing’s site this cycle, so none is printed here; every program links to the university’s own page.

Scholarship application deadlines

Only the awards that need an application have a date. Most entrance money at Ontario universities is automatic on your average, with nothing to submit.

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.

Deadline reminders

Supplementary applications close before the January OUAC deadline, and some land in early December. We’ll email you before the ones that apply to you.

We send your email address and the programs you’ve starred, so the reminders are the right ones. Your marks and your average are never sent — they stay in this browser. Deadline emails only, and you can reply to stop them.
