===Admission===
Admission requirements differ between students from Ontario, other provinces in Canada and international students, due to the lack of uniformity in marking schemes. The admissions office maintains that an admission rate of at least 73 percent is required, although the rate may increase based on the popularity of a program.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.uottawa.ca/undergraduate-admissions/admission-requirements|title=University of Ottawa|access-date=29 May 2012|archive-date=August 11, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170811103615/https://www.uottawa.ca/undergraduate-admissions/admission-requirements|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2018, the secondary school average for admitted applicants to the university was 85.1 per cent.<ref name="University of Ottawa">{{cite web|url=https://www.uottawa.ca/institutional-research-planning/resources/facts-figures/quick-facts|publisher=University of Ottawa|access-date=12 September 2019|title=Quick Facts|archive-date=December 5, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181205203231/https://www.uottawa.ca/institutional-research-planning/resources/facts-figures/quick-facts|url-status=dead}}</ref> The 2015 acceptance (registrant) rate of first choice student is 45.6 percent.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.uottawa.ca/institutional-research-planning/resources/facts-figures/cudo/2015-section-b|title=Institution Research and Planning, University of Ottawa|access-date=6 June 2016|archive-date=August 11, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170811103701/http://www.uottawa.ca/institutional-research-planning/resources/facts-figures/cudo/2015-section-b|url-status=live}}</ref> The 2010 secondary school rate for full-time first-year students, including Saint Paul was 82.1 percent.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.uottawa.ca/services/irp/eng/fact-figures/cudo/section-b_2011.html#sectionb3|title=Section B3 Secondary School Averages of Entering First-Time, Full-Time, First Year Students by Range and Program, 2010|publisher=University of Ottawa|access-date=29 May 2012|archive-date=July 30, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150730015557/http://www.uottawa.ca/services/irp/eng/fact-figures/cudo/section-b_2011.html#sectionb3|url-status=live}}</ref> The retention rate for first-time, full-time first year students in 2009 was 86.1 percent.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.uottawa.ca/services/irp/eng/fact-figures/cudo/section-k-2011.html#sectionk3|title=Section K3 Retention Rates 2009|publisher=University of Ottawa|access-date=29 May 2012|archive-date=July 29, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150729160656/http://www.uottawa.ca/services/irp/eng/fact-figures/cudo/section-k-2011.html#sectionk3|url-status=live}}</ref>
