Application fees

• Fee if all transcripts come from institutions within Canada: $82.50

3. Create your NetLink ID

After you submit your application, you'll receive a confirmation email that includes your UVic student number (e.g. V0xxxxxxx). You should receive this email within 3-5 business days of submitting your application.

Use your student number to create a UVic NetLink ID, which will enable you to access the UVic application portal.

What else can I do with a NetLink ID?

You can also use your NetLink ID to apply for student housing and scholarships.

4. View your application checklist

You'll receive an introductory email from your UVic admission assistant, who can answer your questions and help you through the application process.

• Most students receive the introductory email less than two weeks after the confirmation email.
• During high-volume periods, it may take longer for the introductory email to arrive.

Your introductory email will provide instructions for viewing your application status and checklist of tasks to complete.

5. Submit your grades

Submit your grades through the UVic application portal:

• If you're studying at a high school in Canada, or at a Canadian-curriculum high school outside of Canada, you can self-report your interim grades or predicted International Baccalaureate (IB) scores.
• If you're studying at an international high school, upload your in-progress transcript showing your grades and/or predicted scores.
• If you're studying at a college or university, upload your interim transcripts.

If you've already graduated from high school, college or university, arrange to have your official transcript sent directly to UVic.
