 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
Entrance awards updates
Beyond Tomorrow Scholars and Centennial Scholars Awards
Successful applicants for the Beyond Tomorrow Scholars Award and Centennial Scholars Entrance Award will be notified by  May 15, 2022. Only successful award applicants will be contacted. Students who have been admitted with a first-round offer will be contacted before May 1 (the deadline to accept their offer of admission). 
 Presidential Scholars Award
UBC will contact all recipients of a Presidential Scholars Award by end of day on April 27, 2022.
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.
Destination UBC 
March 14 – May 27 (online)
All domestic students who received an offer of admission are invited to Virtual Destination UBC!
We know your students may have received offers from multiple universities, and that they are in the process of deciding which to choose. Destination UBC is the best way for admitted students to find out what makes UBC such a vibrant place to live, play, and study. Over three months, our selection of virtual events and informative sessions will help to prepare students for life at UBC.
Future Global Leaders
Your students aged 15 to 18 can get a head start on their academic goals with the UBC Future Global Leaders program. This pre-university program is a great way for your students to work out what their passions are while they’re still in high school, and prepare for success at university and beyond by studying a popular course without the stress of exams. Students can attend either online courses that last three weeks or join us on campus in Vancouver, for two-week courses (that combine morning classes, afternoon workshops, and fun social activities). Future Global Leaders runs on various dates in July and August.
