Applying to Senior Kindergarten

List of 7 items.

• Step 1 – Explore UCC

  Before you start an application, we encourage you to learn more about our programs, take a virtual tour and connect with us online to get a feel for school life. Start your exploration now.

• Step 2 – Login to or Create your UCC Application Account

  To start your application for 2022 entry, you must first login to or create your UCC application account. If this is your first time applying, you will need to create an account. Please ensure that when you create the account, you use the candidate’s legal name as it appears on his birth certificate or passport.
  
  If the system recognizes your email address during account creation, your email address will be highlighted in red after you press "Submit". If this occurs, or you created an account previously and do not remember the account information, click on "Forgot Login?" You will then be prompted to enter your email address and request both your username and password. After submitting this request, please check your email inbox for two emails containing your username and instructions for logging in. Creation of more than one account per family may lead to a delay in the processing of applications and/or documents.
  
  Only the candidate's parents are legally authorized to create an account and submit an application. Agents wishing to submit an application on behalf of a parent should contact the Office of Admission at admission@ucc.on.ca before creating an account.

• Step 3 – Submit an Application Form and Pay the Application Fee

  Once you’ve logged in or created an account, click on the application form button to start filling out the form. You can save your work and return to complete and submit it at any time – please allow 30 minutes to an hour in total to complete the form. Please ensure that all form fields are complete before submitting as the application information cannot be edited once submitted. Please allow two days for processing the application form and payment.
  
  The deadline to apply is December 1, 2021. The application fee schedule is as follows:

  • • $200 until Nov. 1, 2021
    • $250 Nov. 2–Dec. 1, 2021

• Step 4 – Submit Birth Verification and Final Report Cards

  Once your form has been processed, you can log back in to upload PDF copies of the following documents:

  • • Final (June) 2019–20 school reports (if available)
    • Final (June) 2020–21 school reports
    • Passport open to the photo and name page

  Images of multiple pages should be merged into a single file before uploading using an app such as Adobe Scan. Applicants are required to submit these documents by December 1, 2021.

• Step 5 – Submit a Current Report Card and Parent Survey

  Current Report: All applicants will also need to submit a current school report as soon as it becomes available and no later than February 26, 2021.
  
  Parent Survey: We will reach out to all SK applicant parents in January 2022 with a link to complete a survey about their son's developmental skills and current schooling.
  
  Please do not submit any additional documents unless requested.

• Step 6 – Await Your Family Visit and Assessment

  Following a review of required documents submitted, we will contact eligible families in February 2022 regarding visit and assessment times. Ineligible applicants who do not meet age and language requirements will be notified as soon as possible.
  
  Family visits take place from March 28–April 8, 2022 and the assessment day is Saturday, April 9. The family visit gives us insight into the applicant and family’s personalities, interests and values through conversation with the student and his parents together. It’s also an opportunity for parents to gain a deeper insight into who we are and what we do at UCC.
  
  The assessment surveys development in the following areas: number concepts, auditory skills, paper-and-pencil skills and free-play. This is where we observe your child in a group setting with their peers and evaluate social skills.
  
  * Due to COVID-19 restrictions, visits and assessments may be conducted virtually. Applicant families will receive full details in February.

• Step 7 – Receive your Decision

  Admission decisions for our Senior Kindergarten applicants will be sent on April 13, 2022.
