Important Dates and Deadlines

Another important page to bookmark is the Undergraduate Important Dates webpage. Your academic year at Ontario Tech University follows a schedule of important dates. You are responsible for knowing and meeting all deadlines found in the academic schedule of dates, including fee payment dates and course add/drop dates. Important dates can be found on our website under current students, undergraduate, Important dates and deadlines.

An important date to remember as we get started this term is September 20^th. September 20th is the end the registration period and the last day to add courses for the fall semester. This date is also the last day to drop courses and receive a 100 per cent refund of tuition and ancillary fees, fall semester. September 20th is the day that your Fall semester fees are due.

��Student Life Services��

In MyCampus you will find a tab for OT Student Life which has links to all of the support services available to students. There are various academic supports available that include peer support, drop-in hours or one on one appointments. The Writing Room where you can meet with a Writing Specialist is widely used by students in our program.

Student Accessibility Services are available to students who require more support than what I can provide you in advising, or what the SLC or Student Mental Health Services can provide. If you had an IEP in high school, accommodations during your College program, or have other longer term or chronic health concerns (mental health or physical) reach out to our SAS team.

Student mental health services are also available to all students. This new environment we find ourselves in, can be tricky to navigate sometimes and we all could use a little professional support now and again to ensure we take care of our mental and emotional health! Some of you may just need a chat with a peer about what’s happening and some of you may require a one-to-one counselling session. Either way, we are here to help you if you need it!
