Find your application dates

Some programs accept new students at specific times of the year (e.g. Fall only). Others accept new students in all semesters. Check when your program accepts applications.

You should also review general application deadlines to make sure you apply in time for the semester you prefer.

Check the requirements

Every program is different. Be sure to check the admissions requirements to find out what courses and grades you need. Your program might also ask you to submit additional documents with your application. Give yourself time to gather the documents you need.

Send us your transcripts (grades)

Arrange to send us official transcripts of all your high school grades and any post-secondary courses you've taken so far. Try to get this step done as early as you can.

Check your application status

Your application gets reviewed as soon as your application is complete. That means we've received your form, application fee, transcripts, and any additional materials.

Your UFV ID: Keep an eye out for a UFV email to your personal email address. That email is important. It contains your UFV ID, and instructions for logging into UFV's application portal. When you log into the application portal, you'll be able to see your application status.
