BC students must provide UBC with their Personal Education Number (PEN) and order a transcript for UBC via StudentTranscripts.gov.bc.ca by the application deadline. When ordering their transcript, students should select “send my transcript now and allow this Post-Secondary Institution to request transcript updates” and choose the default date (one year from the date of their order) so that we can receive their interim and final grades continuously. Additional instructions and details are available on the Student Transcripts Service website.

The Schulich Leader Scholarships program recognizes students across Canada who demonstrate excellence in academics and community leadership, who might have financial need, and who plan to study their undergraduate degree in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics) area. Candidates must be nominated by their high school. Visit the link above for more information on eligibility and how to apply.

We encourage students to start their financial planning early. They can use UBC’s cost calculator to understand how much university will cost and what types of expenses they should consider. If you or your students have any questions, please don’t hesitate to connect with us directly. On our Okanagan campus, students can contact Student Services to learn more about their financial options. On our Vancouver campus, Enrolment Services Advisors are available to help students with  financial planning.

Are your students looking for a design degree with a twist? The new Bachelor of Design in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urbanism is the only undergraduate program in Canada that draws from all three disciplines. Its hands-on, studio-focused courses explore how designing urban landscapes influences everything from people’s well-being to environmental sustainability, and will help your students land jobs in a range of design careers.

Enrolment Services will be closed from December 25, 2019 through January 3, 2020. See you in the new year when we resume our monthly UBC Updates!
