UFV MATH 141 entry qualification alternatives
Application and acceptance documents

Degree applicants; transcripts, deposits or pre-acceptance documents apply at the named stage

  • Apply online at ufv.ca/admissions/apply . Additional documents required for a complete application: For secondary school entrance, a final official transcript (if graduated). For students currently in Grade 12, see the high school grades and transcripts section of the Admissions website for more information. For university students, official transcripts (or interim transcripts) from all post-secondary institutions attended (excluding UFV) showing grade/course achievement as per entrance requirements. To be considered official, transcripts must be sent directly to UFV from the originating institution; see the Transfer Credit section for details. Applicants will be advised of an admission decision and, if accepted, will be provided with registration information. A deposit is required prior to registration (see the Fees and Other Costs section) and will be applied toward tuition fees.

Domestic general eligibility and programme admission

Canadian citizens and permanent residents; general UFV eligibility is distinct from a degree offer

  • General eligibility can be established by BC secondary graduation/equivalent, at least 9 UFV or transferable postsecondary credits with GPA 2.00 across all attempted credits, or age 19 by the first class day. The age 17 and one-year-out-of-school alternative is only for preparatory programmes.
  • Most postsecondary programmes still require secondary graduation/equivalent, while some accept mature or postsecondary-credit applicants. The chosen programme controls prerequisites, grades, written statements and references. Postsecondary English proficiency is also required. Meeting a general category does not waive these conditions or guarantee a competitive seat. No held numeric admission minimum is changed.
ufv admission calendar · official applicant policy
Graduation equivalence for other Canadian jurisdictions

Applicants educated outside BC in Canadian secondary schools or Quebec CEGEP

  • Grade 12 graduation is the stated equivalent for Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario graduates from 2003 onward, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI, Newfoundland, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. The Quebec equivalent is secondary school plus one full academic year at CEGEP. Ontario graduates before 2003 follow the separately published six-OAC/Grade 13 legacy rule.
  • UFV establishes equivalents for required BC school subjects and accepts equivalent approved Grade 12 courses from other jurisdictions. A graduation equivalence does not remove subject prerequisites. The separately linked international credential inventory has not been certified.
ufv admission calendar · official applicant policy
Alternative secondary-graduation credentials

Full IB Diploma, ABE Provincial diploma, BC Adult Graduation diploma or GED applicants

  • These completed credentials may be considered equivalent to BC secondary graduation. Where a programme or course requires a particular secondary-school subject, the applicant must still provide an official transcript showing its final grade. IB Standard/Higher Level diploma courses and AP courses are usually accepted as the same-discipline Grade 12 academic equivalent, subject to the actual assessment.
ufv admission calendar · official applicant policy
Petition for Special Admission

Applicants who do not meet stated admission requirements

  • Apply to UFV and submit a rationale, transcripts and a UFV advisor/counsellor reference with the Special Admission request to the Admissions Manager for Undergraduate Education Committee consideration. Testing, provincial examinations, an interview or an essay may also be required. The policy advises applying at least one month before the semester. A petition does not guarantee admission or waive a programme prerequisite automatically.
ufv admission calendar · official applicant policy
Readmission after absence or first-semester nonattendance

Previously admitted UFV students

  • Readmission is required after one calendar year without attending courses, failure to register in the first semester, or complete withdrawal during the first semester. Some Health Sciences and Trades programmes require continuous enrolment, so their programme rules must be checked separately.
