OUAC PIN Codes – Coming Nov. 1

Posted October 27, 2021

Students planning to apply to Ontario universities for fall 2021 – there has been a change in distribution of PIN codes.  We originally hoped to have these mailed directly to students’ home addresses, but PIN codes are coming to SJAM instead.  You will need your PIN code before you can apply to Ontario universities and guidance will assist with handing these codes to students next week.

  • Guidance will be visiting grade 12 period A classrooms on Monday, November 1st to deliver PINs to potential university-bound students.
  • Students with a period A spare – we will send out further information about PIN distribution (likely to period B classes).  Stay tuned!
  • Students in remote learning – guidance will work to send you your PIN code information ASAP.
  • We will hang on to any remaining PIN codes (for absent students, etc.) for potential pick-up in guidance at a later date.

A reminder that the OUAC application deadline is January 13th, 2022.  You can find out more information on the OUAC website – https://www.ouac.on.ca/ouac-101/
