If you graduated from a Canadian high school, UBC recommends that you have at least six (6) Grade 12 academic and non-academic courses. Approved equivalent of International Baccalaureate (IB), Advanced Placement (AP) and Post-Secondary courses may be used. If you are graduating from a secondary school outside of Canada, the recommended minimum number of senior-level courses will vary.
For any degree applicant, UBC will look at your grades in all academic Grade 11 and Grade 12 courses relevant to the degree you applied to at UBC. If you present a course at both Grade 11 and Grade 12 levels, emphasis is placed upon the mark obtained in the more senior level course.
Your lowest grade will be excluded – as long as the course is not required or relevant to your intended area of study at UBC.
