Ottawa University operates on a rolling admissions basis for most programs, allowing applications year-round. However, specific intakes typically align with the fall (September), winter (January), and spring/summer (May) semesters. Deadlines vary by program and level of study.
Undergraduate applicants are encouraged to apply at least six months before the desired intake. Graduate programs often have stricter deadlines, usually 8-12 months in advance, particularly for competitive programs. International students should account for additional processing time for study permits. Exact dates are updated annually on the university’s official website, where prospective students can verify program-specific requirements and timelines.
