# Applying to More Than One Post-Secondary Institution

As an international applicant, you can apply to more than one post-secondary institution. For each institution that you want to apply to, you must repeat the process that you used to create the first application. When you start a new application, the information that you initially provided is automatically included.

To start a new application for a different institution:

- Go to the [International Applicants - Apply Now](https://www.ontariocolleges.ca/en/apply-now/apply-now-international) page on the Ontario Colleges website.
- Select the **Apply/Log In** link for the institution you would like to attend.

If the institution you are applying to uses the OCAS International Application Service (IAS), enter your existing account credentials when you reach the login page. You do not need to create a new account.

- After you log in, the institution’s pre-admission checklist will open. Review the information, then select **Start my Application**.

The details that you provided as part of your application for the first college should be displayed.

- On the Personal Information page, review the information in each section, make any necessary changes, and select **Save + Continue**.
- On the Agency and Referrals page, make any necessary changes, and select **Save + Continue**.
- Add your program choices, then select **Save + Continue**. For detailed instructions, see [Making Your Program Choices](/international/docs/making-your-program-choices).
- On the Education page, review the information that you previously added, make any necessary changes, and select **Save + Continue**.
- Documents that you submitted for your first application are displayed on the Supporting Documents page. If more documents are required for this new application, you can upload them.
- Select **Save + Continue**.
- Review the application to ensure that the information is correct, then select **Save + Continue**.
- Pay for the application, then select **Submit Application**. For detailed instructions, see [Paying For and Submitting the Application](/international/docs/payment-and-submit-application).

The applications that you submitted to each institution are listed on your dashboard.

- In the banner, select **Dashboard**.
