APPLICATION REMINDERS:

• We need sealed transcripts from EVERY post-secondary institution you attended, whether or not they issued you a degree, except UBC. If you are a UBC alumnus, please provide your student number and we will print your transcript.
• If you have transcripts, please enclose or fax us photocopies, including the transfer key(s) on the reverse of the page (604-822-2015). We can make a quick adjudication of your eligibility even before all of your official documents arrive. Please note that this adjudication is not official until we have received your sealed transcripts.
• Send everything – EVERYTHING – to the attention of Linda Haftner at EPLT (1304-2125 Main Mall, Vancouver, BC, V6T 1Z4). The most common delay in admissions is caused by the search for documents that are sent to other locations on this huge campus.
• It is preferred that references be submitted electronically: when you submit your application, include the referee's email address. This will generate an automatic email which contains a link to a site where your referee can enter his/her reference, and then submit it. They can type as much as they want, despite the apparent size of the text box. This link will only be available when your application is submitted. If you plan on having your referee(s) submit a reference by mail, please leave the email address blank on the application.
• If you decide to submit any or all of your references by hard copy you can download the reference form for this program here. A letter can take the place of the reference form but it must answer the questions posed in the reference form. The reference form is designed for professors to fill out. If your referee is not a professor, please ask him or her to write about your ability to successfully complete a graduate degree in this particular focus.
• IMPORTANT: Reference letters submitted by mail must be received here in sealed envelopes with the referee's signature written across the sealed envelope flap.

Please contact Linda Haftner (604-822-4499, or toll-free in North America at 1-888-492-1122) if you are having problems with the application process.
