The primary criterion for admission to OCAD University's studio based programs is a portfolio assessment and supplemental application materials are required for entry consideration to OCAD U's non-studio based program. OCAD U makes offers of admission based on the portfolio, supplemental application materials and available academic grades. All offers are conditional upon the completion of the admission process, meeting academic requirements and submitting necessary documents. Strong academic skills are essential for overall success.

Applicants who are not applying directly from high school should visit the Academic Requirements section of OCAD U's website, where you will also find detailed academic requirements by province and country specific requirements.
