In this update, we’ll talk about the following items:
How UNBC’s Program Application Deadlines Work You and your students may have noticed there are posted application deadlines for all programs on the website and Academic Calendar. Every year, however, almost all programs extend their application window beyond the first-posted deadline. So why post a deadline at all? There are two reasons: First, for some of the competitive entry programs, the first deadline is when Admissions collects all complete applications submitted to that point and sends the package to a program committee for first review and the first round of offers. Applying before the posted deadline ensures a student’s application is part of that first review. Second, posting a first deadline gives applicants a target date that creates a greater likelihood of them being ready for and meeting next steps, such as applying for campus housing, applying for entrance scholarships (which have their own application deadline of April 1), and being ready for course registration when it opens in early May. The Admissions team maintains a live page for all undergraduate programs’ application windows, which indicates which programs are accepting applications after their deadline. Entrance Scholarships, Awards, and Bursaries Competition – April 1 At UNBC, we recognize that post-secondary education is a huge investment – probably one of the largest investments students will make in their lifetime! UNBC provides more than $3 million in financial awards each year in order to support students in their pursuit of education, and 1 in 4 of our students receives at least one award. Students are required to apply and be admitted to UNBC before they are eligible to apply for awards and financial aid at UNBC. The deadline to apply for awards and financial aid in time for the September 2023 semester is April 1, so please encourage your students to apply to UNBC and apply for financial awards as soon as possible! We recently hosted a How to Apply for Scholarships online info session – students can access a recording of the session here. Additionally, we’ve added information and links about the BC Youth in Care Tuition Waiver Upcoming Online Information Sessions The UNBC Student Recruitment Team will be hosting more online info sessions in the next month! Anyone interested in attending can register on our event page or by clicking an event link below.
Reminder: Campus Tours, Student For A Day, and In-Person Appointments are BACK! UNBC Recruiters are happy to welcome students back on campus for tours and for in-person appointments! We take pride in our beautiful campus and invite students, parents, guardians, and counselors to join us for a campus tour Monday - Friday to learn about student life and campus housing, sustainability, services, and supports at UNBC. You can find tour booking info here. We’re also offering special Saturday tours during high school Spring Break on the following dates and times:
The Student For A Day program is designed to provide a limited reimbursement for prospective students’ travel and accommodation costs. Reimbursements will be given to students who have accepted their offer of admission to UNBC, registered in full-time studies as of the add/drop deadline, with paid tuition, within 3 years of attending the Student For A Day. A travel credit will be posted to the student’s account in October for Fall commencement or in February for Winter commencement. Please note that the student must maintain the admission requirements and be fully admitted to receive the allowable travel reimbursement. Outside of British Columbia (but within Canada and the United States of America), the maximum reimbursement amount is $1000.00 CAD. Applications for many of VIU’s programs will close March 31, so students interested in VIU for September are encouraged to apply. Missed a deadline? Don’t panic! Reach out to the VIU Recruitment Team at [email protected]. There are always different ways to move forward, and recruiters can help find those paths.
