Hello Burnaby South!

Tomorrow morning, Students Course Request Verification Forms will be handed out to Students in their Period 5 class.

This Course Request Verification Form is due BACK to Burnaby South this MONDAY, APRIL 12^th by 3pm - Please return these forms to Student Services

• Students will see a box labelled “Course Verification Forms” on a table near the entrance doors, that students can hand these forms into

Please take this weekend to look over your child’s Course Requests for September thoroughly, checking for accuracy.  The timetable will be built based on all students’ course requests currently in the computer.

Any changes to Course Requests must be made NOW, as course changes will not be approved in September.  To make a change, please cross out the incorrect course listed on the Course Request Verification form, and write in the correct course.

Remember, all students MUST provide 4 “Alternate Elective Courses” which they are interested in taking, should there be a conflict in their TImetable

• If students did not select 4 “Alternate Elective Courses” OR any course was listed twice, students will have 1 or more “NO ALTERNATES SELECTED” Course(s) in the list of course requests.  Students MUST replace these with an “Alternate Elective Course”
  • As a reminder, a Course CANNOT be listed twice à ie; as part of a students 8 Courses, and as one of their “Alternate” Courses (this also includes having the “Regular” version of an Honours/AP Course in their “Alternates”)
    • Students “Alternate Elective Courses” MUST be DIFFERENT from their 1^st Choice in Electives

Honours/AP Courses:

• Due to our current Quarter System, our Honours/AP Courses have NOT been finalized
  • These decisions will not be made until the end of June, and students will find out on the 1^st day of school in September if they met the Honours/AP course requirements
  • In September, if a student does not have the course listed on their Timetable, and they have the pre-requisite course, that would mean they have been placed on a waitlist
• As a reminder, students cannot take a Summer School course to “advance” to an Honours/AP Course for September (ie: taking Science 10 to then take Chemistry 11 Honours)

Career Life Education 10 ONLINE

• For any students in Grade 9, 10 or 11 that are planning on registering for Career Life Education 10 ONLINE to be completed in the Summer or September, this registration must be done by Students/Families through Burnaby Online:

We’d like to remind you that the final application deadline for the 2021/2022 academic year is January 15, 2021. Students can review the Okanagan and Vancouver admission requirements, as well as the  application process, online. We will reach out to applicants in late January via email with more information about collecting grades.

After applying to UBC

BC applicants who submit their UBC online application after December 2 must provide UBC with their Personal Education Number (PEN) and order a transcript via StudentTranscripts.gov.bc.ca by January 31. When ordering a transcript, applicants 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 UBC can receive their interim and final grades continuously.

First-round offers of admission for applicants who submitted their UBC online application on or before December 2 will be going out soon and will continue until the end of February.

Admissions blog

If students have questions about applying to UBC or the admissions process, be sure to tell them about the UBC admissions blog. We publish several posts each week about everything from admissions requirements and the online application to program options, financial planning, upcoming deadlines, and any COVID-related changes to our processes.

English Language Admissions Standard deadline: February 15, 2021

To meet the English Language Admissions Standard (ELAS), students need to complete four or more consecutive years of recognized, full-time education in English within Canada immediately prior to attending UBC.

Visit our ELAS page for the eight other ways to meet this requirement.

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.
