HOW BC STUDENTS PROVIDE TRANSCRIPTS TO UBC
BC students must provide UBC with their Personal Education Number (PEN) and order a transcript for UBC via StudentTranscripts.gov.bc.ca by the application deadline. When ordering their transcript, students should select “send my transcript now and allow this Post-Secondary Institution to request transcript updates” and choose the default date (one year from the date of their order) so that we can receive their interim and final grades continuously. Additional instructions and details are available on the Student Transcripts Service website
SCHULICH LEADER SCHOLARSHIPS
The Schulich Leader Scholarships program recognizes students across Canada who demonstrate excellence in academics and community leadership, who might have financial need, and who plan to study their undergraduate degree in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics) area. Candidates must be nominated by their high school. Visit the link above for more information on eligibility and how to apply.
FINANCIAL PLANNING
We encourage students to start their financial planning early. They can use UBC’s cost calculator to understand how much university will cost and what types of expenses they should consider. If you or your students have any questions, please don’t hesitate to connect with us directly. On our Okanagan campus, students can contact Student Services to learn more about their financial options. On our Vancouver campus, Enrolment Services Advisors are available to help students with financial planning.
