Apply for admission

Aboriginal
Applicants

UVic is committed to increasing Aboriginal enrolment and graduation, and welcomes applications from First Nations, Metis, Inuit, and Non-status Aboriginal peoples. Your student may apply online by following UVic's handy step-by-step admission checklist.

Our Aboriginal students are encouraged to self-identify so that UVic can send them relevant information. The voluntary declaration will NOT be used for admission decisions. Documentation of Aboriginal ancestry is not required.

If your student does not qualify under the general admission categories, UVic has a First Nations, Metis, and Inuit Special Category (which includes Non-status Aboriginal). The student's application will be reviewed by the Senate Committee on Admission, Reregistration, and Transfer.

Don't forget to review specific program requirements, as certain degrees such as law and education have a specific application process for Aboriginal students. Additional admissions information can be found through the Office of the Registrar and Enrolment Services.
