Apply to UCC | Upper Canada College

Explore UCC

We invite families to learn more about UCC by getting an inside look through our podcast, submitting an inquiry form or attending an event, where you’ll find information about both local and international events.

Complete Your Application

Create or log into your UCC account. (Only the candidate’s parents/guardians can legally create an account and submit an application. Those wishing to submit an application on behalf of a family should contact the Office of Admission at admission@ucc.on.ca.)

Click the application form button. You can save your progress at any time and return to complete your profile later. Before submitting, please check that all fields are complete as you won’t be able to edit the information once it’s been submitted.

Once your application form has been processed, you can log back in to submit supporting documents and the teacher reference form, available in your admission checklist.

*Boarding applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. We strongly encourage submitting applications by November 1 to account for the high volume of applicants. Please note that the application fee is $200 until November 1 and $300 thereafter.

Complete the Online Assessment

We ask that all applicants complete an online academic assessment, focusing on language and math skills.

You will receive instructions on how to register for your online assessment once we receive your application. 

The assessment will have questions with the following format: 

• Select the word that is closest in meaning to the bold word.
  CHEERFUL

  B) Brave
  C) Sleepy
  D) Confused
• Look at the relationship between the first two numbers, then choose the number that completes the pair in the same way.

  B) 12
  C) 18
  D) 27

Participate in an Interview Session

Upon receipt and review of all required documents, selected candidates will be contacted to arrange an interview, accompanied by a parent or guardian.

This conversation allows us to learn more about a prospective student’s areas of strength, needs, potential for success and alignment with UCC’s values. It also provides parents and guardians with a deeper understanding of UCC and the experiences that we offer.

We encourage families who reside outside of Ontario to contact the Office of Admission before booking travel arrangements. If the parent or guardian requires language or translation support, please advise the Office of Admission during interview scheduling.

Final admission decisions will be communicated on a rolling basis.
