To be considered under this policy, you must meet the minimum admission average (67% for secondary school applicants or 2.00 for post-secondary transfer applicants). You must also the English Language requirement and the Quantitative and Analytical skills requirement as detailed below.
Note: If you have been required to withdraw from a recognized university, you are not eligible to apply under diverse Qualifications.
Prospective student athletes applying under the diverse Qualifications process should be aware that admission to the university under diverse Qualifications does not guarantee eligibility to play as a varsity athlete. Please discuss the varsity eligibility requirements for your particular sport with your prospective coach before applying.

Applicants to UBC are required to write the BC Provincial Exams that are needed for graduation. BC Provincial Exam grades, including exams for English 12 or English 12 First Peoples, will be included only if they increase your admission average.

The following courses are approved Grade 12 courses. They can be used to calculate your admissions average.

UVIC - Victoria www.uvic.ca
ADMISSIONS - BRITISH COLUMBIA (includes YUKON): YEAR ONE
The academic qualifications for consideration from secondary school is high school graduation with a competitive admission average. The admission average is calculated using all required grade 12 courses. Each faculty determines their cutoff and it changes on an annual basis due to limits on enrollment and the competitiveness of certain programs. The actual cutoffs for the previous year are posted on the website and generally range from 75-90%.
Students graduating prior to June 2008 were required to write provincial examinations for all courses being used to meet admission requirements if an exam was offered for that course. Students graduating in June 2008 and beyond, must have written provincial examinations in any subject where it is mandatory in order to meet BC Graduation Program requirements. When a student elects to write an optional grade 12 provincial exam, the higher of the school mark or the blended grade (school mark and provincial exam result combined) will be used in the admission average calculation.
