Sign Up for an Assessment

We ask that all applicants complete an academic assessment, focusing on reading, writing and math skills, along with a fun group activity on select dates in November and December (see below). Candidates who reside outside of Ontario can complete their academic assessment and group activity online. Please contact the Office of Admission if this applies to you. 

The academic assessment takes approximately 20 minutes. No advance preparation is required; however, here are three tips to help your child feel comfortable and confident.

• Practice the format: If your child isn't used to formal testing, do a quick 15-minute activity at home using a timer so the setting feels familiar.
• Build focus: Have your child complete a brief worksheet or reading activity with light household background noise to help them practice tuning out distractions.
• Ask for help: Remind your child to take their time and ask the teacher if they don’t understand a question. 

The assessment will have questions with the following format: 

• 8 - ____ = 5
• The energetic puppy chased its tail around the yard until it was completely _____________.
  A) exhausted
  B) invisible
  C) frozen

2026 Assessment Dates and Times

Friday, November 27 at 9 a.m.
Thursday, December 3 at 12:30 p.m.

Participate in an Interview Session

Upon receipt and review of all required documents, selected candidates will be contacted to arrange an interview, which includes a student interview and a parent/guardian interview.

This conversation allows us to learn more about a prospective student’s areas of strength, needs, potential for success and alignment with UCC’s values. It also provides parents and guardians with a deeper understanding of UCC and the experiences that we offer.

We encourage families who reside outside of Ontario to contact the Office of Admission before booking travel arrangements. If the parent or guardian requires language or translation support, please advise the Office of Admission during interview scheduling.

Final admission decisions will be shared on February 26, 2027.
