Application Process Carefully read the following instructions before beginning your application. Please print this page and refer to it while completing your online application.
1. Online Application Important: You must select the precise program name listed above. If you select the wrong program name, you will need to re-apply and pay an additional application fee. The Faculty of Graduate Studies will not refund your application fee, or transfer or cancel your application.
Once you submit and pay for your online application, your referees will automatically receive an email with a link and instructions for completing the electronic reference form. Despite the apparent size of the text box, referees may type as much as they want.
2. Supporting Documents In addition to your online application, please forward:
Your application requires two (2) sealed transcripts from every post-secondary institution you attended (except UBC), even institutions where you did not complete a program. If you are a UBC alumnus, please provide your student number so we may access your transcript.
A letter can take the place of the reference form as long as it addresses the questions posed in the reference form. The reference form is designed to be completed by professors; if your referee is not a professor, please ask him or her to write about your ability to successfully complete a graduate degree in this particular focus. The letter should identify:
Detailed examples are more useful than general statements of support. Important: Letters of reference will only be considered valid if the referee’s signature appears across the sealed flap of the envelope.
APPLICATION NOTES Please note that this adjudication is not official until we have received your sealed transcripts, and your eligibility for the program is based on your application as a whole.
