A message to school counsellors and educators, from Stephanie Parker Huskinson, UVic Student Recruitment:
Hello Counsellors and Educators!
As self-reporting winds down, I wanted to keep you updated on some important information and deadlines that would be helpful to you and your students.
Self-reporting will close on March 15th. We have recorded an instructional video to assist students completing this crucial step of the application process.
Ministry of Education Transcripts – Undergraduate Admissions will be emailing all BC applicants in April, instructing them on how to grant the appropriate permissions through the Student Transcript Service to send interim and final transcripts. We will be accessing these grades in mid-May to confirm self-reported information and re-evaluate applicants placed on a “hold” status based on their self-reported grades.
Admissions Assistants – When your students have specific questions about their applicant file or inquire about changes to their application, they should contact their Admissions Assistant. Applicants do have this contact information in emails they have received from the Undergraduate Admissions office but here is the list for your reference. Admissions Assistant Directory
Discover UVic Presentations – We will be hosting Discover UVic presentations throughout the spring, geared toward Grade 11 students researching their options for next year. The presentation will provide information about the academic opportunities that students can pursue and what makes UVic the unique place that it is. Registration is available on our Tours and Events page.
