Notice: OUAC's graduate application portal will be closed beginning September 7 to 10, 2025, and will not be accepting applications. The portal will resume normal operations on September 11, 2025.
Can a friend or family member pay my application fee?
Yes. Anyone can pay the application fee on the applicant’s behalf. Payments are made through OUAC at the end of the online application and not the University of Guelph. OUAC applications will not be forwarded to The Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies until payment is processed.
For assistance and more information regarding application payments, we would recommend reviewing the Fees page of the OUAC website, and if need be, connecting with them by email at gradapps@ouac.on.ca.
