OCAS represents Ontario's 24 Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology (CAAT). Three non-CAAT institutions also use the ontariocolleges.ca service for their applications. [2] The centralized platform provides application-to-college services in English and French through its ontariocolleges.ca brand. [3]

In 2017, OCAS introduced its International Application Service (IAS) as a new platform for use by international departments at Ontario's public colleges. To date, over half of Ontario's colleges as well as one Ontario university, use the OCAS IAS. [4]

It also offers a centralized data warehouse of applicant information for colleges, high schools and government. [5]

OCAS is located in Guelph, Ontario.
