    4. Check application status

    Shortly after you apply, we’ll send you an email with your UVic student number, followed by instructions on how to check your application status online.

    We’ll contact you by email once an admission decision has been made and you’ll be notified if anything further is required. Make sure to add @uvic.ca to your safe-senders list.

    5. Accept your offer

    When you decide to accept your offer of admission, you’ll need to contact Graduate Admissions and Records by email to secure your place. Your admission letter will tell you who to contact. You must submit any outstanding documents to finalize your offer.

    Need to change your start date?

    If you’re admitted to a graduate program and need to change your start date, you can ask for an entry point change. You can do this by contacting your program’s graduate secretary.

    Entry point changes:

    • must have the support of the graduate advisor of your program
    • are only available to applicants with a provisional, conditional or full offer of admission
    • are only granted once per student. If you need to change a second time, you will have to pay the application fee again.

    If you do not have an admission offer and want to change your entry point, you need to submit a new application.
