The Sauder School of Business Undergraduate Office makes a decision after considering your academic average and your personal profile.

What if I don't get accepted? Can I talk to someone?

¹Transfer Credit
Transfer credit is determined by the UBC Office of Enrolment Services. If you are admitted to the University, your offer of admission will include a list of your transfer credit. If you are admitted to the BCom program and you have already completed Commerce courses, please review your credit before you register for your classes to ensure that you do not register for a course that you have already completed. See detailed courses outlines for all Commerce courses.

²Disclosure of Information
All applicants to the Bachelor of Commerce Program at UBC are required to disclose information pertaining to attendance at all educational institutions. This includes all institutions attended prior to the submission of the application for admission as well as any institutions attended after the submission of the application for admission and prior to the commencement of classes at UBC. Failure to disclose any information regarding previously attended educational institutions is a serious offence and may result in the withdrawal of an offer of admission or suspension from UBC.
