The Council of Ontario Universities (COU) builds awareness of the university sector’s contributions to the social, economic and cultural well-being of the province and the country, as well as the issues that impact the sector’s ability to maximize these contributions. Working with its 20 member institutions (Ontario’s publicly assisted universities) and one associate member institution, COU convenes the provincial dialogue on university issues, develops consensus, advocates positions and advises the provincial and federal governments on policies that impact higher education.

The Ontario Universities' Application Centre, a division of COU, is the processing centre for all of the province’s universities. It collects and distributes applications for undergraduate, professional and selected graduate programs. The centre’s website provides data on applications each year.

Below is a list of member and associate member universities and their website addresses.
