University of British Columbia

An expensive date to miss, and one that looks optional. UBC's largest awards for international students require the whole application two months before the ordinary deadline, in the first term of the final IB year. If you are not applying for the award, your date is 15 January. Award applicants also have to meet UBC's English standard and submit their documents by 31 January 2027.

Two months before UBC's general January deadline, and an easy date for an applicant in Denmark to miss: it is the date by which an international student must have applied to UBC and submitted the award application to be considered for the International Scholars Program. The scholarship is the reason the date exists, and the scholarship is the thing that is gone on 16 November — the general admission route stays open until 15 January. Published with a time and a time zone, 11:59 p.m. PST, which is 08:59 the following morning in Denmark; an applicant in Denmark working to a local midnight has until the morning of 16 November, but do not use that margin.

A separate application from admission, with its own deadline, and the guarantee is lost by missing it. Vancouver's private rental market is very expensive and is not a fallback.

UBC states that initial decisions are made on interim grades reported by the school and that final IB results are used to confirm the decision and any first-year credit. July therefore confirms rather than decides, and a result below the offer conditions costs a place already held.

The date that confirms a UBC offer for an IB candidate at a school in Denmark. Request the electronic transmission of your results from the IB in the spring.

Published as "Out-of-country applicants (except US and A-Level applicants): Deadline to submit your final transcript to confirm your offer of admission." That is the row for an IB candidate at a school in Denmark; the 30 June date on the same page is for US and Canadian applicants. UBC decides on interim grades reported by your school and uses the final IB results to confirm the offer and any first-year credit, so request the electronic transmission from the IB in the spring so that it goes the day results are released, about 6 July 2027.
