OCAS (Ontario College Application Service) is the application processing service owned and operated by Ontario's publicly-funded colleges. There is a $125 charge for applying to George Brown or any other college in Ontario.
Application fees are not refunded for duplicate applications.
Application fees will not be transferred from one application cycle to another. The only exceptions are:
- If the applicant's only college program choice has been cancelled by the college. In this case a refund or transfer is processed on request only.
- If an applicant who originally applied for the Fall intake has been offered early admission (summer semester) by the college, Ontario Colleges will not charge another application fee in this case.
Ontario Colleges will hold applications received without payment and notify the applicants that, to retain the original received date of their application, payment in full must be received at Ontario Colleges within 14 days of the date of notification of non-payment.
Ontario Colleges will notify applicants that if payment is not made within a two-week period, the application will be withdrawn. The date that the payment is then received is considered to be the date that the application is received.
A $20 fee is charged for returned cheques, (e.g. post-dated or stale-dated cheques, NSF cheques, "stop payment" cheques, cheques drawn on accounts which have been closed or in which funds have been frozen).
