Applying to Year 3

List of 8 items.

• Step 1 – Explore UCC

  Before you start an application, we encourage you to learn more about our programs and plan a visit 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 2020 entry, you must first login to or create your UCC application account (beginning in September). If you did not apply last year or 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 416-488-1125 ext. 4123 (SK-Year 6) or ext. 2221 (Year 7-11) for special instructions.

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 3, 2019. The application fee schedule is as follows:

  • $150 until Nov. 1, 2019
  • $200 Nov. 2-Dec. 3, 2019

• 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:

  Applicants are required to submit these documents by December 3, 2019.

• Step 5 – Submit a Current Report Card & Previous Educational Assessment (if required)

  Current Report: All applicants will also need to submit a current school report as soon as it becomes available and no later than February 10, 2019.
  
  Previous Educational Assessment: If you answered "Yes" on your application form to the question "Has your son ever had an educational assessment completed by a professional?" regarding educational support, please upload a PDF copy of the psychological assessment.

  
  Please do not submit any additional documents unless requested.

• Step 6 – Complete your Entrance Test / Assessment

  Once Step 4 has been completed, files are reviewed to determine eligibility based on age and language requirements. Ineligible applicants will be notified as soon as possible prior to the test.
  
  Eligible applicants must write an entrance test at UCC on January 25, 2020 from 9-11 a.m. The test is age-appropriate and evaluates literacy and numeracy skills, followed by a creative and social skills activity. If you are planning to travel into Toronto for the test, please alert the Office of Admission before making travel arrangements.
  
  We've prepared some sample questions so you can get an idea of the type of content on the test.

• Step 7 – Await your Interview

  Upon receipt of all required documents, selected candidates will be contacted to arrange an interview. Interviews take place from October through mid-February. Please note that in some cases interviews will not be scheduled until test results have been received.

   

  The interview is about 45 minutes in total. Before spending time with the applicant, one of our Admission Counselors will meet briefly with parents. While this is happening, the applicant will be asked to tell us about himself through a short writing exercise. The writing exercise is not graded.

   

  After the Admission Counselor has met with the parents, he/she will interview the applicant. During the applicant interview, the student will be asked to read a short piece while the remainder of the time is a relaxed conversation where he is encouraged to share information about himself and get to know us. The interview is meant to give insight into the applicant and family’s personalities, interests and values. It is also an opportunity for parents to gain a deeper insight into who we are and what we do at UCC.

   

  We require at least one parent to participate in the interview process. If the parent(s) cannot participate in the interview in English, please advise the Office of Admission during interview scheduling.

• Step 8 – Receive your Decision

  Admission decisions will be sent on February 21, 2020.
