UBC is aware that our online application on the EducationPlannerBC website is experiencing technical issues. The application is open, but intermittent disruptions may prevent you from accessing the website to submit your application to UBC. We are working with EducationPlannerBC to resolve this matter, but we recommend that you work through your application carefully and save your progress frequently - to ensure your work isn't lost during one of these disruptions. If you experience issues while you're working on your application or if you cannot access the website at all, please take a break and try again a little later. We want to reassure you that these disruptions will not negatively affect your application to UBC nor will it impact your consideration for a scholarship. UBC has extended the deadline to apply to be considered for a scholarship. If you wish to be considered, you will now have until December 8, 2025, at 11:59 pm (PST). We'll update this space with more details as we get them.
