Welcome back to a new school year!
Admission requirements
Applicants to UVic must first select a faculty or program and meet the admission requirements outlined in the individual program pages on our undergraduate admissions website. While most programs do not require a personal essay, some programs require additional information (i.e. resume, portfolio, personal statement), which we call a supplemental application.
Students that are undecided on a program can apply to the Faculty of Humanities, Faculty of Science, or Faculty of Social Sciences as an undeclared student to explore their interests through taking a variety of classes. They will declare a major after one or more years of full-time study.
Application process
Applications for the September 2025 intake are available online now through EducationPlanner BC, and the deadline to apply is January 31, 2025. More information on the application process can be found on the How to Apply section of our undergraduate admission website.
Submitting transcripts
For the September 2025 entry, we will continue to use grading information provided by the BC Ministry of Education via the StudentTranscripts Service (STS) when assessing the applications of current high school students in British Columbia. Students must order transcripts to be sent to UVic via the STS website immediately upon submission of the application. They should choose the default option that allows updates for one year.
Students applying under the IB curriculum will continue to self-report their grades.
