The Admissions Office at McMaster University is aware that some students and parents are concerned about the possible impact that work-to-rule and rotating strikes by Ontario secondary school teachers may have on their application, particularly in relation to letters of recommendation and other supplementary submissions. At this time applications from Ontario secondary school students are being received as expected through the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC).

All Ontario universities and the OUAC are monitoring developments carefully. In the event of a disruption to the application process, the OUAC and the universities will work together to mitigate any circumstances outside of the applicant’s control.

McMaster University and the OUAC will update this message as more information becomes available. Students are encouraged to check these websites regularly for new information.
