Access form: Student Profile Form (SPF) *for high school applicants studying in Canada

Form information:

The Student Profile Form (SPF) is your opportunity to tell the Admission Committee about activities that you have been involved in and that have helped you develop leadership and citizenship qualities. Factors beyond your control that have negatively affected your academic performance, such as illness or extenuating circumstances, will also be considered. If your admission average in May does not meet the cut-off for the program to which you have applied, your SPF will be considered if your average falls within a discretionary range of the final cutoff (up to 5%). Submission is optional, but strongly recommended.

Submission Deadline: March 1, 2025

If I complete the Supplemental Information Form for Students with Disabilities (SIF-D) do I also need to complete the SPF?

Yes. Each form addresses different factors that may impact admission. If you have experienced factors that fall under the categories on both forms, we encourage you to complete and submit both the SIF-D and the SPF.

What are the discretionary ranges?

The discretionary range is defined as “up to 5% below the final cut-off". The discretionary range will vary by program, but it will not exceed 5%.

When are SPFs considered?

Student Profile Form submissions are usually considered during the final round of offers. If your admission average in May does not meet the cut-off for the program(s) to which you applied, your SPF may be considered if your average falls within a discretionary range of the final cut-off (up to 5%). Admission is not guaranteed.

Where do I find my OUAC ID and my University of Guelph Student ID?

You will find both ID numbers on the acknowledgement email that you received after you applied to the University of Guelph. Your OUAC reference number is 10 digits (the first four are the year). For the University of Guelph's purposes, when completing the SPF please add a 0 as the eleventh digit to make your 11 digit OUAC reference number (eg: 2020123456 would be 20201234560).

Access form: Supplemental Information Form - Disability (SIF-D)

Form information:

The University of Guelph strives to provide equal opportunity for academically qualified students with disabilities. If you believe that your admission average does not reflect your true academic ability as a result of a disability, you are encouraged to complete the Supplemental Information Form for Students with Disabilities. This form is considered along with your admission average in determining admission. You are encouraged to contact Student Accessibility Services as early as possible to discuss your needs and academic background.

Submission Deadline: March 1, 2025

Applying Directly from High School?

If you feel your disability has adversely affected your grades and that your admission average may be close to the cut-offs, please submit the Supplemental Information Form for Students with Disabilities (SIF-D). Student Accessibility Services will retain this information and will collaborate with Admission Services to make an admission decision if needed. If you receive an offer of admission, you are encouraged to register with SAS as soon as possible and this is a separate process.

Applying as a Mature or Transfer Student?

If you are applying to the University as a transfer or mature student and feel your disability has affected your grades, please contact Admission Services to learn how you can provide a support letter.
