Information for Prospective Students About High School Grades and Provincial Exams
February 4, 2008
The Government of British Columbia has changed some of the rules
regarding provincial exams and UNBC has responded by making some
changes regarding our admission requirements for students coming to the
University directly from high school.
Secondary school students from BC and the Yukon no longer need to provide their provincial exam results for optional exams. Instead, the University will use the grade provided by the school. For those courses that have mandatory provincial exams, UNBC will use the blended grade (a combination of the school grade and the results of the provincial exam) to assess whether an applicant meets UNBC's admission requirements.
In order to be eligible for admission to UNBC, students must successfully complete an approved grade 12 program leading to graduation. The precise admission requirements vary somewhat depending on the degree program selected by a student. For details, click here.
The new admission requirements outlined above do not apply to the Environmental Engineering degree. The entrance requirements for this program remain unchanged and students are required to write two provincially examinable Science 12 courses.
