Domestic Applicants

(Canadian / U.S. Citizens &

Canadian Permanent Residents)

All applicants must upload scans of official transcripts (in PDF format) from all colleges and universities attended, including all front and back pages, in the online application system. If the official transcript does not indicate the degree name and the degree conferral date, then official copies of the degree certificate must be uploaded as well. The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral studies provides detailed instructions for Domestic and International transcript submissions.

Official paper copies must be sent directly to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. Only admitted students will be required to submit paper transcripts to confirm their offers of admission.

Submit three letters of reference to support your application. The MHA has provided specific questions for referees to help us address these topics:

Your referees are strongly encouraged to write detailed responses to address these topics within the form, or, within their own prepared letter of reference.  We do not require two separate document submissions.

The online application form generates electronic references for referees with institutional emails (ie. not free accounts such as gmail or yahoo). For referees submitting paper letters, these must be sent directly to the MHA Program Office in sealed envelopes with a referee’s signature over the seal.

Please note that referees will only receive a notification to submit references once the UBC application has been submitted.

Upload your Letter Of Intent during the online application process.

The Letter of Intent can use a question and answer format or address these questions within your essay-style submission. Please limit your LOI to 150 words for each question or if using the essay format, keep your points succinct.
