After you've applied

Every year UBC reviews more than 40,000 applications and sends out admissions decisions from December through to April. After you submit your application, you may still have to submit additional documents. This waiting period is a great time to tour the campus and plan your finances.

Watch: You've applied to UBC. Now what?

Find out what happens after you’ve submitted your application, what you can do while you wait, and how to check your admission status.

Check your status

While we’re evaluating your application, you can log in to the Applicant Service Centre anytime for updates on your application status, upcoming deadlines, and outstanding documents and fees. To access the Applicant Service Centre, you’ll need your EducationPlannerBC (EPBC) log in that you created during the application process.

By May, UBC has offered admission to as many students as possible. We won’t know if there are additional spaces to fill until all of those students have decided whether or not to accept their offers. If you see in your Applicant Service Centre account that you have been waitlisted, there’s nothing left to do except wait a little longer. We will notify you if a space becomes available. If you wish to appeal an admission decision from UBC, please review the formal appeals process.

Visit the Applicant Service Centre

Submit your documents

UBC requires certain academic information to evaluate your application and determine whether you’ll receive an offer of admission. Your document requirements will vary depending on where you’re applying from and what degree(s) you’ve applied to.

Review your document requirements

Check your first-year credit eligibility

If you complete university-level courses while in high school, you may be eligible for first-year credit at UBC. Find out if any of your Advanced Placement, British-patterned education, or International Baccalaureate courses qualify.

Check for first-year credit

Plan your finances

It’s never too early to start planning your finances. Use our online cost calculator to get a sense of your educational and living costs in first year, and start mapping out your financial support. In addition to scholarships and awards, there are a number of ways to help, such as loans, bursaries, work programs, and more.
