Ontario Tech acknowledges the lands and people of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.

We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

I have registered, what's next?

Now that you've successfully registered in your courses, follow these important steps to ensure you are ready for the semester.

  • 1. Review important dates, deadlines and information

    You should become familar with our Academic Calendar, which has information on the academic schedule, important dates, academic regulations, privacy information and fees. Specific information on faculties—as well as course descriptions and program maps—are also available. Course descriptions can be found in alphabetical order by course type.

    You are responsible for familiarizing yourself with the key dates and deadlines found on the academic schedule, including fee payment and course add/drop dates.  

  • 2. Activate your student email account

    Through a partnership with Google, our undergraduates, graduates, alumni, faculty and staff have access to accounts (firstname.lastname@ontariotechu.net) powered by G Suite for Education (previously known as UOITnet). This is a rich suite of communication and collaboration tools designed to enhance our ability to work together. G Suite for Education is available to users via any internet-connected computer or mobile device.

    Visit our Information Technology Services website to see what your OntarioTechu.Net G Suite for Education services include. Instructions on how to activate your student email account for the first time can be found at the bottom of the page.

  • 3. See if you are eligible for OSAP

    If you are an Ontario resident, you might be eligible for the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP), a combination of federal and provincial loans and grants. OSAP is available whether you are studying part-time or full-time.

    When you are applying for OSAP, it is important to provide the correct year level and course load:

    • Your year level for registration purposes may differ from the number of years you have attended the university—be sure to verify your year level.
    • Typically, each three-credit hour course is 20 per cent of a full course load. If you are registered in three courses (nine credit hours), you are in a 60 per cent course load.

    Learn more about how our Student Awards and Financial Aid team can assist you in applying for OSAP.

    Continuing your studies over the spring/summer term?

    Are you planning to continue your studies over the spring/summer terms and already have an OSAP application from the previous academic year? 

    You will need to extend your current OSAP funding period by completing the OSAP Summer Extension form, located on MyCampus, under the OT Documents tab. This form has to be submitted after you are registered in your courses for the spring/summer semesters.

  • 4. Pay your tuition

    Now that you have registered, it's your responsibility to pay your semester fees in full by the payment and refund deadlines. To find out how much you owe, visit your account summary by term on MyCampus, under the OT Undergraduate tab.

    Please note: If you make any changes in registration—such as adding or dropping a course—be sure to check your account summary, as your balance may have changed.

    Failure to pay fees or arrange an approved deferment by stated fee payment deadlines could result in de-registration from courses, late fees and financial holds on your account.

  • 5. Find out your software and laptop requirements
    All Ontario Tech University undergraduate students will participate in Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Technology-Enriched Learning Environment (TELE) and will provide your own laptop to use for your academic studies. Visit our Information Technology Services website for complete information on the TELE program. Here, you can learn about services, software, minimum laptop standards and more, based on your faculty.
  • 6. Find your academic advisor

    Academic advisors are committed to helping students make choices that will lead to their academic success. Your advisor can support you throughout your educational journey, from selecting a program to planning for the future. Teams of academic advisors are available in each faculty.
