We consider self-avoiding walk and percolation in $\Zd$, oriented percolation in $\Zd\times\Zp$, and the contact process in $\Zd$, with $p D(\cdot)$ being the coupling function whose range is denoted by $L<\infty$. For percolation, for example, each bond $\{x,y\}$ is occupied with probability $p D(y-x)$. The above models are known to exhibit a phase transition when the parameter $p$ varies around a model-dependent critical point $\pc$. We investigate the value of $\pc$ when $d>6$ for percolation and $d>4$ for the other models, and $L\gg1$. We prove in a unified way that $\pc=1+C(D)+O(L^{-2d})$, where the universal term 1 is the mean-field critical value, and the model-dependent term $C(D)=O(L^{-d})$ is written explicitly in terms of the function $D$. Our proof is based on the lace expansion for each of these models.
