Please read these instructions carefully to ensure that your application is correct and complete.
ALL requirements must be submitted by the closing date & time, 4:00 pm Friday, May 18, 2012. Late documents will NOT be accepted.
1. ONLINE APPLICATION

The Guide to Using CSU Apply Online or the Tips for Completing the Online Application Form will help you through the process.
- Your Application Type is 11, CSU-Ontario Undergrad

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: You must also submit three documents as additional requirements for admission: an experience table, a personal statement and a resume. These three documents are to be submitted using the Document Upload section of the online application.
- Download & Save the Experience Table & Personal Statement. These two essential components set out the information you must provide to enable the Faculty to assess your experiences and personal attributes. Follow the instructions, then complete and save each document.
- Download & Save and complete the Resume form.
After you have submitted the online form you will receive an Acknowledgement page as well as a Confirmation of Submission email from the Admissions Office, to advise that your application has been submitted successfully. PRINT a copy of either the Acknowledgement page or Confirmation email - ensure your full name is on this page - and ATTACH it to the cheque for your Application Fee, which is to be mailed or delivered to the campus by the closing date.
CITIZENSHIP: If you were NOT born in Canada, you will be required to provide evidence of your Canadian citizenship or permanent resident status. You should submit this evidence (e.g. certified copy of citizenship card or passport) via the Document Upload section of the online application.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY: If you have completed your studies outside Canada, you need to check our English Language Proficiency requirements. If you do NOT satisfy these requirements you must demonstrate your level of English proficiency by providing English language test results taken in the last two years. Your test scores should be entered on the online application form (Checklist item #9), and then a verified copy of your test results should be submittted via the Document Upload section of the online application.
