    • 1

      Create an online account at UBC.ca. Enter all requested information, including your name, date of birth, mailing and email addresses, previous schools attended and other required information. Select the programs you wish to apply for. If you are applying for a program that requires references, such as a doctoral program, contact them to request a reference about two months ahead of the deadline.

      Send via postal mail any additional required information. Sending a copy of your official transcripts from high school or previous colleges you have attended, as well as a birth certificate or citizenship record, are basic requirements. Students graduating from a Canadian high school will need a 67 percent average for admission; program-specific requirements also apply for each program. Some programs require other skills and experiences, known as broad-based admissions, that consider factors outside the realm of academics.
