Saanich Career Education

School’s almost out for the summer! We’ve enjoyed connecting with you, and are looking forward to welcoming you to the UBC community in September.

We are excited to share many end-of-year updates with you in this month's newsletter.

Students who have received an offer of admission to full-time studies in the first year of a degree may be able to request a deferral for one year. Please review the eligibility criteria, including which degrees do not grant deferrals, carefully.

To request a deferral, students must accept their offer and submit a deferred admission request form before July 1 (for UBC Vancouver degrees) or before August 15 (for UBC Okanagan degrees).

UBC is unable to approve all deferral applications, so we recommend that students still register for first-year courses while their deferral request is pending.

Students who have accepted their offer of admission should start preparing for course registration. Their assigned course registration date and time will be provided by email and is also available in the Student Service Centre.

The Indigenous Recruiter-Advisors would love to connect with you and the Indigenous students at your school. Our sessions are designed with Indigenous students in mind, offering information about specific programs and services available on both UBC campuses. To learn more, please contact Chloe or Kristen.

Congratulations to this year’s UBC Schulich Leader Scholarship recipients:

The $200-million Schulich Leader Scholarship program awards 100 

undergraduate scholarships annually to exceptional students who wish to study science, technology, engineering, or mathematics at top Canadian universities. Nominations for the 2024 academic year open this fall, so now is a good time to start thinking about your students who might be a good fit. For more information, visit the  Schulich Leader Scholarships website.
