Course descriptionThe School of Nursing has a limited enrolment. Since the number of qualified applicants usually exceeds the number of places available, fulfillment of the minimum requirements is not a guarantee of admission. The School reserves the right of selection of all students for admission and readmission to the School. Canadian residents will be given preference in the selection process.
The School of Nursing will select for admission those applicants who not only demonstrate academic potential, but who also most aptly display a motivation to study nursing and who demonstrate that they possess the qualities and skills most necessary to be a caring and competent professional nurse. In addition, the School will select those applicants who demonstrate the best potential for academic success, leadership, and ability to advance the nursing profession.
Academic documents are assessed by Enrolment Services and the supplemental application documents are assessed by the UBC School of Nursing Admissions Team. Human anatomy/physiology course equivalency is assessed by the School of Nursing PLAR Committee.
Based on academic standing and scoring on the supplemental application, a selection of applicants are offered interview. The interview is a critical component of the admission process. Applicants selected for an interview will be contacted by the School of Nursing Admissions Office. The interview dates will likely be scheduled for late March and April.
Applicants who, after interview, are accepted will be sent a letter of acceptance and details about the registration procedures.
