PRINCIPLES OF PRACTICE
• Wherever possible, UBC should be holistic in its approach to the academic assessment of an applicant.
• Wherever possible, UBC’s admission decision should go beyond school-based assessments of performance (i.e. grades) and also consider the composition of the student’s academic record, recognizing breadth, depth, relevancy, and/or individual context of presented coursework.
• Wherever possible, the academic assessment should discretely assess a student’s overall academic potential and potential for study in a particular UBC program.
• Wherever possible, UBC’s admission policies should promote positive learning outcomes in secondary school (such as encouraging students to challenge themselves, pursue their intellectual curiosities, and take risks).
11
THE OVERALL AVERAGE – DRAFT
• Does not vary by program.
• Approximately 12 – 18 courses, depending upon student courseload; minimum number of Gr 12 courses tbd (current proposal is six).
• All Grade 11 and 12 courses (excludes applied design, skills and technology; physical & health education; career and personal planning).
• Drop the lowest grade.
• Limits on visual and performing arts classes: maximum of two Grade 11 and two Grade 12 (four total).
• Some applicants may receive consideration for: breadth, depth, relevancy, and individual context.

THE CORE AVERAGE
• Varies by program.
• Approximately 4 – 8 courses, depending upon student courseload; minimum number of courses tbd.
• All Grade 11 and 12 courses in subjects related to the intended area of study at UBC (excludes applied design, skills and technology; physical & health education; career and personal planning).
• Always includes English 12 (2019: no change; 2020: literacy assessment required at point of admission).
• If a course is presented at Gr11 and Gr12 level, use highest level only.
• Some applicants may receive consideration for: breadth, depth, relevancy, and individual context.

WHAT PROBLEMS ARE WE TRYING TO SOLVE?WHAT BENEFITS ARE WE TRYING TO REALIZE?
• Modernize; Align with new BC Ministry Grad Program• Equity and alignment with other Canadian jurisdictions • Equity and alignment among all applicant groups • Better recognizes positive learning outcomes beyond achieving high
grades and strategizing for post-secondary admission• Partial mitigation of admission average inflation• Ensure relevant courses are always considered • Minimize the impact of courses that are poor predictors of success• Increase/Maintain the predictive ability of the admission decision• Allows for greater consideration of humanities, social sciences, visual
and performing arts courses• Eliminates the need for “an approved list of courses”
22
KEY MESSAGES TO STUDENTS
• Pre-requisites and requirements are not changing. You do not have to take different/more courses than currently required.
• You should take courses in secondary school that are related to what you want to study at UBC. Doing so will increase your chances of admission.
• UBC will look at your grades in nearly ALL your academic Gr.11 and Gr.12 courses.
• When we look at your overall grades, we will drop your lowest Gr.11 or Gr.12 course; so it is safe to experiment.
• We will pay particular attention to courses related to what you want to study at UBC. If you have the course at both the Gr.11 and Gr.12 level, more emphasis will be placed on the Gr.12 grade.
• Be aware that having the highest grades is not the only way to get in – challenging yourself by taking more courses or more rigorous courses can also be beneficial.
