Applying to Senior Kindergarten

List of 4 items.

• Step 1 — Submit an application

  To start your application for 2025 entry, you must first login to or create your UCC application account. Please ensure that when you create the account, you use the candidate’s legal name as it appears on his birth certificate or passport.

  
  

  Only the candidate's parents are legally authorized to create an account and submit an application. Agents wishing to submit an application on behalf of a parent should contact the Office of Admission at admission@ucc.on.ca before creating an account.

  
  

  Once you’ve logged in or created an account, click on the application form button to start filling out the form. You can save your work and return to complete and submit it at any time – please allow 30 minutes to an hour in total to complete the form. Please ensure that all form fields are complete before submitting as the application information cannot be edited once submitted. Please allow two days for processing the application form and payment.

  
  

  We highly encourage applications to be submitted by November 1, 2024 and will continue to accept applications until December 1, 2024. We encourage you to submit your application early as interview and assessment spaces are limited.

  
  

  The application fee schedule is as follows:

  $200 until Nov. 1, 2024

  $300 Nov. 2–Dec. 1, 2024

• Step 2 — Complete all steps in your application checklist

  Once your form has been processed, you can log back in to complete the following steps:

   

  • Upload final (June 2022–23 and 2023–24) school reports (may not be available for SK applicants)  

  Images of multiple pages should be merged into a single file before uploading using an app such as Adobe Scan. Please upload your documents in PDF form. Applicants are required to submit these documents within 24 hours of application submission. 

   

  • Complete teacher reference request

  This teacher reference helps us learn more about the applicant as a member of a learning community. Complete the form by inputting the teacher’s email. The form is sent directly to the teacher. The preference is that this is completed by the classroom teacher (previous year or current year). If not possible, the form can be sent to a teacher or coach who observes your child in a group setting. One-to-one teachers and tutors or family friends should not be used.

   

  The teacher reference form is available through the admission checklist after you have created your account. This should be returned by the teacher by January 6, 2025.

• Step 3 — Await an interview invitation

  Following a review of the required documents submitted, we will contact eligible families to attend a family visit and small group assessments. The family visit gives us insight into the applicant and family’s personalities, interests and values through conversation with the student and his parents together. It’s also an opportunity for parents to gain a deeper insight into who we are and what we offer at UCC.

  
  

  WHEN: 

  
  

  Small group assessments will take place on January 18, 2025. Families will be invited to register on a first-come, first-served basis on December 16, 2024.
  
  

  We strongly encourage families who reside outside of Ontario to contact the Office of Admission before booking travel arrangements.

• Step 4 — Receive your decision

  Admission decisions for SK applicants will be sent on February 21, 2025.
