Deadlines

  1. 31 January 2027

    Deadline to apply for Fall 2027 on Education Planner BC
    Hard deadline
    Details

    Sixteen days after UBC's, on the same platform, for the same intake. This is the clearest reason not to read one British Columbia deadline as the province's.

    Published as "Deadline to apply for Fall 2027 on Education Planner BC", with applications opening 1 October 2026. Two weeks later than UBC, on the same platform, in the same city region — which is the argument against carrying one British Columbian date to another.

  2. 7 February 2027

    British Columbia — Simon Fraser University, Beedie and Contemporary Arts supplemental requirements
    Hard deadline
    Details

    Beedie applicants must complete every item on their To-Do List by this date; School for the Contemporary Arts applicants — excluding Art, Performance and Cinema Studies and Performance Production & Design — must complete an audition, interview or portfolio by it. A portfolio or audition is weeks of work, not an afternoon, and the date is published nowhere a student sees before applying.

  3. 28 February 2027

    Admission document submission deadline for all high school applicants
    Hard deadline
    Details

    Published as the "Admission document submission deadline for all High School Applicants", four weeks after the application. Admission decisions are made on a rolling basis from January to late April, so documents that arrive in February are read against whatever places are left rather than against the whole field.

    Undergraduate Scholars Entrance Scholarship applications close
    Details

    Six weeks before Simon Fraser's own application deadline, which is the trap: a student who applies in January, on time, has already missed the entrance scholarship by a month. The supporting documents for the scholarship are due separately on 31 January 2027, and the offers go out between mid-March and May.

    Deadline to apply for Residence and Housing; most students must accept offers
    Details

    Published as "Accept your offer — Deadline for most students to accept their offer of admission", and it is also the residence and housing application deadline, so a student who accepts on the last day is applying for a room on the last day too. "Most students" is SFU's own hedge; your offer letter governs. Note how far this is from Ontario's shape: the OUAC's 1 June protection does not exist in British Columbia, and 1 May here is a real date a month earlier.
