Each year, tens of thousands of high school students across Ontario embark on the process of\u00a0researching, planning, contacting and visiting university campuses to help determine where they want to pursue their postsecondary education and academic program of choice.<\/p>\n

For many,\u00a0a key part of that decision-making process is\u00a0attending the Ontario University Fair. Each September,\u00a0the three-day fair\u00a0draws more than 120,000 students, parents and educators.\u00a0The first major date for university-bound students is in November, when the Ontario University Application Centre opens their online\u00a0system to start accepting applications. The next key milestone is in January, when the system imposes a deadline for applications.<\/p>\n

For those students looking to attend university in fall 2015, the system closed on January 14. On Monday of last week, the Ontario University Application Centre posted the province's latest enrolment statistics including those for York University.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that York\u2019s overall enrolment is comprised of two major pools:\u00a0 those coming directly from an Ontario high school (commonly referred to as \u201c101\u201d applicants); and, those who are not coming directly from an Ontario high school (\u201c105\u201d applicants).\u00a0 Within both of these broad categories, the University accepts and enrols students whose fee status is domestic, or international.<\/p>\n

In order to better understand York\u2019s recent enrolment results and to learn what the University is doing to respond to the situation, YFile<\/em> spoke to York University Vice-President Academic and Provost Rhonda Lenton.<\/p>\n

YFile<\/em>: What is the Ontario University Application Centre?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ontario Universities\u2019 Application Centre (OUAC) processes applications for admission to undergraduate, law, medical, rehabilitation sciences and teacher education programs at Ontario\u2019s universities.<\/p>\n

YFile<\/em>: What did they recently report regarding applications to Ontario Universities for fall, 2015?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we expected, based on demographic trends, the number of 101 applicants in Ontario is down nominally from 2014. \u00a0Specifically, the total number of applications received by OUAC is 1.8 per cent less than last year.<\/p>\n

It is the start of a downward trend for the next several years, but one that is expected to reverse again after 2021, when there will be another steady increase in the population of 18 to 20 year-olds, and therefore growing university enrolments. When there is a demographic shift in the market, one university\u2019s gain in a particular year may be another university\u2019s loss. Over time, these fluctuations tend to even out.<\/p>\n
