New University of Victoria Students

1. Complete an "Application for Admission" to the University of Victoria. This form is available from the Admission Services website: http://web.uvic.ca/adms It is to be completed and sent to the Admissions Office, University Centre, by the deadline: January 31.

2. Admissions will evaluate the students' applications and then notify Physical Education of the students who are eligible to be considered. That is, those students who have completed or have in progress the Faculty of Education and Physical Education pre-requisites described in the Calendar. This step usually takes place in February if all the documentation (including in-progress transcripts) has been submitted by the January 31 deadline.

3. Physical Education will send eligible BEd PE Teacher Preparation, BA Recreation and Health Education Co-op and BSc Kinesiology Cooperative Education applicants a Physical Education "paper interview" form to be completed and returned by April 30. NOTE: the non-Co-op Kinesiology Major applicants do not require an interview.

4. Physical Education will also send eligible applicants a sheet explaining "How Decisions Are Made." That is, how their g.p.a., interview and other information will be used to determine who is accepted and, when and how they will be notified of the outcome of their applications.

5. Physical Education will process the students' application information and notify Admissions who is recommended for acceptance and who is not. This cannot be done until after the final transcripts are received. Although the documentation deadline is May 31, the earlier Admissions receives the final transcripts, the faster the applications can be processed.

6. In June, Admissions will authorize the acceptable students to register in their new programs.  The School of Exercise Science, Physical & Health Education will separately notify applicants of the outcome of their applications.
