In a recent article for the Toronto Star, Kristin Rushowy examines recent data from Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) about undergraduate confirmations at Ontario universities for Fall 2025. Rushowy writes that OUAC’s numbers show that more than 84,000 ON secondary school students have confirmed their attendance at university this fall, which marks an increase over June 2024 (79,217). The number of other students confirmed to attend postsecondary, however, has declined from 29,514 in 2024 to 26,941 in 2025. Due to the loss of international students and the difference in domestic and international tuition, Rushowy estimates that ON universities will take in significantly less revenue from tuition this year.
