Acuity's note for applicants
Important: A valid McMaster University Student ID is required to ensure your Casper scores are properly linked to your application. McMaster IDs are issued after you have submitted your OUAC application and paid the applicable fees. You have two options when registering: 1. Wait to register until your McMaster ID has been issued. 2. Register using a placeholder ID, but it is essential that you update your registration with your valid McMaster ID as soon as it becomes available. Failure to update your ID may result in your Casper scores not being matched to your application, which could impact your application status.
