American Universities 

The closet equivalent of the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) for American universities is CommonApp (commonapp.org).  That being said, not all American schools use commonapp; some require a separate application.  You will need to check with each school.  

Always check that your American university is fully "accredited" (Does it offers degrees that are recognized both in the United States and internationally).

Credits from two-year American colleges may not be transferable.

• The ACT (American College Testing) assessment, or "A-C-T" as it is commonly called, is a national admission examination that is required by many American colleges and universities. Check the admissions section on your university's website to see if the ACTs are an admissions requirement.  Hodan Nalayeh Secondary School's College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Number is 826735.  This information will be required to register for the ACT.​

• The SAT (Sch​olastic Assessment Test), or "S-A-T" as it is commonly called, is the other national admission examination that is required by many American colleges and universities. Hodan Nalayeh Secondary School's College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Number is 826735.  This information will be required to register for the SAT.
