May is an exciting time for your students as many of them will be making their final university decisions for the fall. Here are some important resources to help you navigate the home stretch. Important deadlines     Admissions:Generally, the deadline to accept an offer of admission is June 1 for UBC Okanagan and May 1 for UBC Vancouver, but the deadline has been extended for some students admitted to UBC Vancouver. Students can find the deadline to accept their offer, accept their offer, and pay their acceptance deposit in the Student Service Centre. Housing:     UBC Okanagan:  Between June and August, residence offers are sent by email. Students have a limited time to accept their offer and pay the first instalment of their residence and meal plan fees. August 1: Deadline to apply for early arrival.   UBC Vancouver:Between June and August, residence offers are sent by email. Students have seven days to accept their offer and pay the first instalment of their residence and meal plan fees. August 8: Deadline to apply for early arrival.     International study permits     International students who are attending high school in Canada (and who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada) must obtain a post-secondary study permit to study at UBC. That will involve changing the conditions on their current permit. If your students will be coming to UBC from outside Canada, more guidance can be found on the coming from abroad page.     Program spotlight: Master of Physical Therapy     Are your students interested in a healthcare career?Physical Therapy is a rewarding profession offering a diverse range of practice areas with excellent employment opportunities and job security.  The UBC Master of Physical Therapy (MPT) program is the only entry-to-practice program in BC and is taught across three sites in Vancouver, Prince George, and Surrey.  Students interested in the 26-month MPT program should first set their sights on earning a bachelor's degree in any field. While completing that degree, they should keep in mind additional admission requirements for the MPT program, including volunteer experience and specific prerequisite courses in anatomy, physiology, physics, English, statistics, and psychology. Students can reach out to mpt.admissions@ubc.ca if they have any questions, or visit the MPT Admissions website to learn more about the program.

 

As St. Mary’s University is nearing our application deadline for Fall 2022 (July 1^st 2022), we have decided to hold an Information Night for those thinking of applying to our Bachelor of Science Biology degree!

 

We will be having our BSc in Biology Information Night on May 26^th from 7:00 – 8:15 pm – this night will be a great opportunity for prospective students to meet our Biology professors, tour our campus and labs, observe a fun (and edible!) chemistry experiment, and learn more about what to expect from the Biology degree program at StMU! This event is open to high school students of any grade, prospective university students, and parents/guardians.

Starting May 24, you can even enrol in courses with our mentors and other representatives there to help you. Session types We recommend that you only register for one since they all cover similar material. There are six types of sessions: General, International, French Immersion, Quebec, STEM and Humanities.

This will help you decide which to register for. Register now for a help session! Important! To take part, you must have accepted your offer of admission at least three business days before the session.   Zoom links The Zoom links will be posted on the course enrolment sessions webpage (underneath the registration form) at least 24 hours before each session. What to bring

This spring we’re providing webinars for grade 10 and 11 students (and their families!) who are at the early stages of their post-secondary exploration process. Students and their supporters are welcome to join us for a presentation where we’ll share tips for navigating their options, give an overview of the University of Toronto and provide some admissions basics. While the session will be focused on U of T, much of the information will be applicable to Ontario universities more broadly.

The sessions below will have the same content, but we’re providing different options to allow for different schedules and I would appreciate if you could share them with your students:

UNBC- University of Northern B.C. Hello!   I hope this email finds you and your students doing well, with many of you looking ahead to high school spring break. Today, we are sharing with you the March Newsletter from Student Recruitment at UNBC.   In this newsletter, we cover: Updates and clarification of Fall 2022 application deadlines General Entrance Award application deadline Online Information Session Recordings Campus Tours and appointments with Recruiters   2022/23 Application Deadlines – Extensions   Applications are currently open for Fall 2022 and Winter 2023 on EducationPlannerBC.ca. Some programs have a posted application deadline of March 1 or earlier. Many of these deadlines are extended. For example, Arts, Commerce, Planning, and Science majors are continually accepting applications for Fall 2022 (it’s never too late to apply). Competitive programs such as Engineering or Health Sciences have limited seats but will post if they are accepting late applications past the deadline or are accepting applications to a waitlist.   The reason we post any deadline is so that applicants have time to complete their applications, receive an admissions response, apply for entrance awards before their deadlines, and to have first choice of their schedule when course registration opens.   Our Admissions team maintains an up-to-date reflection of each program’s application acceptance status on our website at unbc.ca/admissions/undergraduate/undergraduate-application-deadlines - we highly recommend bookmarking this page!   Do not hesitate to contact us for clarification at futurestudents@unbc.ca.

What you need to know.

Assistant Registrar, Student Recruitment and Applicant Relations Student Recruitment Team | Office of the Registrar | University of Calgary

My student received an offer of admission -  what next? UCalgary has a webpage dedicated to supporting students with the next steps. UCalgary requires that all students accept their offer by May 1, 2022 and pay a $500 non-refundable admission deposit. Details of their offer of admission and deposit deadline as well as their official offer letter are available in their Student Centre.

My student received an offer, what happens to their other program choice? If a student receives an offer of admission to their first-choice program, this is the only offer of admission they’ll receive. We recommend students rank their application choices with their most desired program as their first choice. If a student receives an offer of admission to their second-choice program, they will still be considered for their first-choice program provided there is still space available in the program at the time they meet the requirements. Students do not need to reapply and will be reconsidered automatically. For more information, please click here.

My student has not yet received an offer If a student does not have an offer to their first two choices at this point, we recommend that students considering changing their second choice on their application before the March 1 deadline. Students can change their application choices as many times as they wish until March 1, 2022 for no additional fee.

Other common questions: I applied for a program with a supplementary application, when will I hear my decision? Programs with supplementary applications (Bachelor of Health Science, Dance, Music, Visual Studies) make offers after the supplementary application has been reviewed. For Health Science applicants, we highly recommend that they complete their supplementary application as soon as possible as offers have started for this program and the deadline is March 1. For Fine Arts applicants, most auditions will be held in March. Is it too late to still apply? Not at all! The deadline to submit an application of admission is March 1, 2022. If students require additional help with their application, we are pleased to offer an in-person Application Workshop on February 23, 2022 from 6:00-8:00 PM.  What is the admitting average for each program? Admission averages are finalized once the pool of applicants is known after the March 1 application deadline and do change throughout the admission cycle. For students who have not received an offer, we recommend that they consider the estimated competitive admission averages highlighted on our Admission Widget as these are the competitive ranges for our programs. What is the average needed to maintain to keep an offer of admission? Applicants who have received an offer of admission with high school courses in program must: Maintain their average: All students will find a link in their Student Centre in May, highlighting the final admitting average they need to maintain  Complete all required grade 12 courses for their program by June 30, 2022 Submit any outstanding documents as outlined in their to-do list Graduate from high school These details are available for students in their Student Centre under the 'status' link. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You're invited to the VIRTUAL Women in Engineering Day Engineers develop technologies that connect people and communities, protect society from natural and unnatural disasters, turn waste into fuel, make cancer detection fast and easy, and much more.

Backup plans are an important consideration that may allow students to still attend VIU (and work towards their intended educational goal) in September 2022, even if they are not a successful applicant in their first choice limited-entry program (ie: Criminology, Kinesiology, Nursing, etc).Click here for more information on VIU’s Areas of Study or to Start your Application.
