Hey Burnaby South!!

University of Toronto is holding a Virtual Information Session for Burnaby School District students and parents

• October 20th at 6pm 

In order to attend, you MUST register FIRST through this link:  https://apply.adm.utoronto.ca/register/?id=ce9e7d0a-2ccf-4370-9af8-68bdd572bb60

Once you register for the session, you will receive a link to join via email and will also receive follow up reminders before the session starts.

Parents are, of course, welcome to join but University of Toronto asks that you attend with your child rather than registering separately as the UofT system will think you are a student and NOT a parent.

In recent weeks, we have received numerous questions and concerns from students and parents about UBC’s admissions process this year.

We understand from these discussions that students may be adjusting to changes, such as new learning delivery methods, modified school schedules with less flexibility in course selection, and limited access to extracurricular activities at school or in your community.

We understand that adjusting to these changes can be challenging and want to reassure you that, as the school year unfolds, we will assess and adjust our current processes to ensure that students’ applications to UBC are not disadvantaged.

We will be flexible and responsive and are carefully watching and listening to accommodate these changes in this year’s admissions process.

As decisions are made, we will continue to update the the " Special message about your UBC application and COVID-19" post on our Admissions Blog

Special message about UBC applications and COVID-19

We will be as flexible as possible to ensure that your students’ applications to UBC are not disadvantaged by COVID-19 (coronavirus) disruptions.

We know that – like all students around the world – you are adjusting to ongoing changes meant to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and keep everyone in schools safe. We are carefully watching and listening, so we can accommodate these changes in this year’s admissions process.

We want to reassure you that as these disruptions and changes continue to roll out, UBC will assess and adjust our current processes. Keep checking your email and our blog post to discover any flexibilities and changes.

TAKE PART IN OUR VIRTUAL FAIRS THIS FALL

What’s post-secondary education all about? Is it about choosing a specific career? Or is it about developing the skills you need to become successful in any number of different jobs and careers?

The truth is that post-secondary can be about all of the above and more. And you definitely don’t need to have all of the answers right away. In fact, it’s ok to change your mind about what you want to get out of your post-secondary experience along the way.

The key is to give yourself as many options as possible in the future. Choose the post-secondary opportunities that fit your skills and interests. Open up more doors in your future. The more you know about the different opportunities out there, the more likely you are to find that right fit.
