  13. Frequently Asked Questions • How do I pay for my selections? Either by: a) Credit Card online (best option as processed immediately) b) Telephone with Credit Card (ok option as processed fairly quickly)

  14. Frequently Asked Questions c) By Money Order or Certified Cheque (least preferable option as your application will not be processed for several days, causing you to miss the application deadline)

  15. Frequently Asked Questions University and university program changes are processed. OUAC will accept program changes up until February 7th, 2012 for consideration for early CONDITIONAL acceptance. This is not a deadline date. Changes will be accepted at any time.

Check regularly • Universities will mail you a letter stating conditional acceptance is offered. • Conditional means if your marks stay the same or increase! Even a drop of 0.1% could result in your offer being withdrawn.

  18. A Concluding Thought… Don’t Procrastinate! The online application sites often are overloaded and crash during the last few days before the deadlines…Don’t wait! Start and complete your application as soon as possible! Suggested Deadline: Friday December 23rd .
