1. ONLINE APPLICATION

• Navigate to grad.ubc.ca/apply/online/.
• When you are ready to apply, click “Apply Online”.
• Read the instructions, and either log in with your CWL or create a CWL if you have never attended UBC.
• Once logged in, on the “Degree Program Selection,” type the 4-character cohort designation SCE3 or Master of Education in Science Education into the “Program Keyword” field.
• Click the program name.  Ensure you select the version that ends with "Professional Cohort".
• When you reach the “Experience & Interests” page of the application, please make sure you choose the appropriate program, as there may be more than one. It should include SCE3.
• When finished entering your information, you must click “Declare & Submit”.
• You will automatically receive an email acknowledgement, with instructions on documentation and deadlines.

References:

• When adding your references to your application, you will be asked whether they are professional or academic references. Academic references are those who know you in an academic capacity (e.g. former professors). Professional references would include your principal, vice-principal, or someone who has supervised you.
• You are strongly encouraged to submit electronic letters of reference. Simply fill in the email addresses of your three referees when completing the online application (an email address is required). References with free, web-based email addresses (e.g. Gmail, Hotmail, etc.) will receive a link to the paper reference form, which must be mailed to our office (address on the reference form). NOTE: Please see “Supporting Documents” below for more information on paper references.

Once you submit and pay for your online application, your referees will automatically receive an email with a link and instructions for completing the electronic reference form or the link to the paper reference form, as above.

A letter can take the place of the reference form as long as it addresses the questions posed in the reference form. Despite the apparent size of the text box, referees may type as much as they want.

2. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS

Please have these ready to upload when you apply:

Transcripts, degree certificates (if applicable), English language assessment report (if applicable), statement of intent, and an up-to-date resume must be uploaded to your application.

In cases where referees are unable to submit an electronic reference, sealed and endorsed reference letters may be sent by mail. Your reference will receive a link to a reference form that they should complete and send back to us.

 Important: Please ask your references to include the 4-character cohort designation SCE3 when they submit their reference. All references must arrive in sealed envelopes with the reference’s signature on the seal.

The form is also available here.
