Requirements
Admission Requirements: This UBC Okanagan Continuing Studies micro-credential has no prerequisites and assumes no prior knowledge of the subject matter. It is aimed at professionals holding a university degree or college diploma in a related discipline, practising environmental and resource professionals such as agrologists, biologists, firefighters and foresters, land managers in forestry, agriculture and wildfire sectors, government employees, individuals seeking employment in an environmental field, and post-secondary students. Participants must be adult learners of at least 18 years of age. Instruction is delivered in English, and no GPA, prior credential grade, or standardized English-language test score is published for admission. Registration is by online sign-up rather than a competitive application.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Domestic and international undergraduate applicants both apply through EducationPlannerBC for Winter Session 2027/28 (September 2027 entry) and Summer 2027: applications open in early October 2026 and the equal-consideration deadline is 15 January 2027, 11:59 p.m. PST, the same date for both groups; a few programs keep reviewing late applications on a space-available basis afterwards. Earlier dates apply only to entrance-award consideration -- 15 November 2026 for the International Scholars Program and 1 December 2026 for Presidential/Centennial/Beyond Tomorrow scholars. Several limited-entry programmes -- Law, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Nursing (advanced entry), Occupational/Physical Therapy, Social Work and Teacher Education -- set their own earlier deadlines from October 2026 through February 2027. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
