The deadline for our online application is February 28, 2013. Students must self-report their grades and have any required Admission documents (e.g. IELTS, TOEFL) received by this date. Self-reporting of grades opens December 15, 2012.
Please note that students who apply to the Beedie School of Business and our Major Entrance Scholarship Competition with the minimum 90% admission average are not required to fill out the Business broad-based admissions application. This Major Entrance Scholarship application will be provided to the Beedie School of Business and used in the admission process.
