How UBC makes admissions decisions
If your students did not receive a first-round offer or applied after December 1, they are currently being evaluated for admission. Find out how UBC evaluates applications and  when students can expect their admissions decision. 
Our most popular Instagram post last month announced that our first-round offers of admission were complete
Grade 12 Literary Assessment requirements
The Ministry of Education has now confirmed that the April and June sittings of the Grade 12 Literary Assessment will go ahead as planned, and your students will need to take this exam.
The Grade 12 Literary Assessment is an important condition of your students’ offer and they must try to do their best on the test. However, UBC understands that your students have faced uncertainty and challenges during their most important years at school, and that this stress can affect their exam results.
When we review their application and final grades, including the results of the Grade 12 Literary Assessment, we will do so with great care and sensitivity. In the event that they do not achieve a score of “Proficient” on the exam, we will take these disruptions into account when reviewing their final standing.

University of Guelph BC Admission Information
 
To help students understand our admission requirements, we created an admission criteria webpage exclusively for BC secondary school students:  https://admission.uoguelph.ca/bc. We’ve also created an acceptable grade 12 course webpage so students can ensure they are taking courses acceptable for admission to the UofG - https://admission.uoguelph.ca/canadian/bc/grade12. 
Upcoming Virtual Information Sessions
We are hosting two virtual information sessions for prospective students this fall your students maybe interested in attending. Details are as follows:
Who: University of Guelph  
What: Grade 12 Information Sessions
Where: students are encouraged to register in advance here
When: Wednesday November 9 & Thursday December 1 – both dates from 5-8pm EDT (2-5pm PST)
Format: We are offering six 30-minute information sessions. The event is free to attend.
 
Students who pre-register will receive a reminder email with link to join the event and will have the option to select which session they’d like to attend on the day (i.e., they’re not registering for a specific session in advance).
