¶¡ÏãÔ°AV

Your student's next steps

During this time, remind your student that there are a few things they can do while they wait to hear back about their application. Once they’ve been assigned a student number and at any time during the admission process, students can sign in to  to check on their application status.

After your student submits their application

Ensure they submit any required documents. These documents depend on students’ various pathways, and must be submitted by their respective deadlines to complete the application.

If they haven't already, apply for scholarships like the Undergraduate Scholars Entrance Scholarship (USES) or the Uggla Family Scholarship (UFS).

Apply for ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Residence and Housing or start looking for housing options off campus (see below).

Consider their living arrangements

On-campus housing

Students staying at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Residence will have their own private living and study spaces, access to housing amenities, and access to all-you-care-to-eat meal plans at the Dining Commons. It’s the ideal setup for students who want the convenience of being within walking distance to their classes, living just a few doors down from their friends in the ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV community, and enjoying their independence in a safe, welcoming environment.

How applications work

Applications for the Fall term open in early October, so we recommend students apply early. Spaces on campus are limited and offers are made to students on a first-come, first-served basis. However, those who apply will only get an offer from ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Residence and Housing after they've officially accepted an offer of admission from the University, so their original date of residence application still matters.

Off-campus housing

There are many off-campus housing options to be found in Greater Vancouver, and depending on which ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV campus the majority of your student’s classes will be held, Burnaby, Surrey, and Downtown Vancouver are good places to start looking for accommodation. Please note that the closer the accommodation is to campus, the less likely there will be availability closer to September each year, due to their proximity and popularity among students studying from out of town.

Join in-person and virtual events

We host a series of events throughout the busy fall and winter months, covering different topics that address domestic and international student needs. These can include how-to webinars that take students through the application process in detail, drop-in advising sessions where students can bring their questions, and information sessions and one-on-one meetings with our admissions representatives that are hosted abroad, to name a few.

Come visit us for a campus tour

We schedule regular tours at our Burnaby and Surrey campuses, where you and your student can meet current ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV students and ask them questions about what it's like to be a part of the ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV community. These tours are meant to give you a better understanding of what ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV has to offer your student, whether it's our faculties and programs, campus amenities, or student services, and how they can align with your student's educational, professional, and personal goals.
