Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.

Once you’ve picked the program you want to apply to and learned about your specific admissions requirements, you can apply through the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC).
You should direct any application process questions to OUAC.
If you're looking for more help with applying, or have questions about the application process, read our more detailed information on how to apply.
If you are a student and you would like to grant consent for the release of information regarding your application to a third party (such as a parent or guardian), you must submit an authorization of information release form. To request this form, email chooselaurier@wlu.ca.
It is important to check your email often because we will be communicating with you by email over the next few months.
To ensure you receive our emails, add chooselaurier@wlu.ca and/or international@wlu.ca to your address book or “safe sender” list in your email account. You should also make sure the email address you submitted to the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) is up-to-date because that’s how we’ll be communicating with you from now on.
Once you have applied to Laurier, you will receive an email from us confirming that we have received your application.
Application information is processed in the order in which it is received from OUAC. If you do not receive a confirmation message from us within five days of applying, please check your junk mail first. If you have still not received our email, let us know and we will send you a confirmation. Call 519.884.0710 x3385 or email us at chooselaurier@wlu.ca.
You'll need to use your applicant portal to complete your application. Your confirmation of application email will contain your portal account login information.
You will be able to view your application status online through your portal account, in the 'My Applications' tab. You should also use your portal to view a list of documents we require for your application and to view when we receive your documents.
You'll find a list of documents we require to assess your application in the applicant portal. These may include transcripts and/or proof of English proficiency. Transcripts and required documents must be submitted electronically no later than May 12, 2022. If you're an Ontario high school applicant, don't worry – your school will send us your transcripts.
You should submit an Applicant Background Summary (ABS) form within two weeks of applying. The last date to submit was April 27, 2022.
You are also encouraged to apply for an entrance bursary. You could be eligible to receive up to $1,500 for your first year at Laurier. The deadline to apply was April 27, 2022.
We'll email you when you receive an admission decision. Your official offer of admission letter will be posted in your portal account.
If you've received an offer of admission, congratulations! Find your next steps, including how to accept your offer, apply to residence, register for courses, and get set for September, on our Students with Offers page.
