The Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) is a non-profit organization that acts as a central bureau for managing the processing of applications to universities in the Canadian province of Ontario. The OUAC was founded in 1971 by the Council of Ontario Universities and the Ontario Universities' Council on Admissions, as the benefits of central application processing were recognized.
Currently, the OUAC handles undergraduate applications, and professional applications for Ontario's medical, law, education, and rehabilitation sciences programs. Applications are handled on-line through the OUAC's "Compass" system, and may alternatively be handled as paper applications.
The OUAC is located in Guelph, Ontario.
Famous quotes containing the words application and/or centre:
“Most people, no doubt, when they espouse human rights, make their own mental reservations about the proper application of the word “human.””

“In the centre of his cage
The pacing animal
Surveys the jungle cove
And slicks his slithering wiles
To turn the venereal awl
In the livid wound of love.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
