Every entrance scholarship at Western, and what your average is worth

When Western decides, and what happens after

In Western’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 offer admission to Group A applicants throughout the admission cycle from November 2025 until May 2026.last cycle’s date

If a student is taking a prerequisite in later terms, they must show in their OUAC application that they are enrolled in the course for us to evaluate their application.

All offers are conditional upon maintaining the final average indicated on the offer of admission, successfully completing the Ontario Secondary School Diploma and meeting any additional admission conditions outlined at the time of an offer.

Deferring your offer

Students can request a deferral of admission for a period of one year.

Admission scholarships for deferred students are based on the scholarship eligibility criteria in the year of registration. The Western Scholarship of Excellence and National Scholarships are not deferrable.

Students must submit their deferral request online: https://welcome.uwo.ca/next-steps/accept-offer/ request-to-defer-your-studies.html.

Tuition deposit

International undergraduate students will be required to make a $2,500 admission deposit when they accept their offer of admission.

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.
