Completing Your Application

Your Application Package

REMINDER: The deadline to apply is November 2, 2009. Late applications will be not accepted.

In order for the application to be considered complete, OLSAS must have received all of the following components:

  • Completed on-line application form which includes:
    • Personal Statement
    • Autobiographical Sketch with verifiers
    • Required Personal Information (date of birth, etc.)
  • LSAT Reports (English program only)
  • Letters of Reference (two letters are required)
  • Official Transcripts for All Post-Secondary Studies

Students applying in the Aboriginal and Mature categories must also provide an up-to-date curriculum vitae to OLSAS.

Students applying in the Access or Special Circumstances category must also fill in the extra screen on the on-line application form.  Additional supporting documentation can also be provided to OLSAS if deemed appropriate.

All documents must be submitted to OLSAS directly, not to the law school.
