OCAS was established by Ontario’s public colleges in 1991 to centralize and manage the domestic college application process.
In the years that followed, we created a data warehouse to house information associated with those applications and generate reports that help our partners make strategic decisions around recruitment, enrolment, and program development.
Today, we focus on ensuring the domestic college application is stable, secure, and meets the needs of Ontario learners and our many partners in higher education, while leveraging data to gather feedback and share insights with those partners.
In short, we were established by Ontario’s colleges for Ontario’s colleges – and for the benefit of Ontario’s higher education ecosystem.
