Admitted, what's next?

I've received an offer of admission by mail - what do I do next?

Congratulations! If you decide to accept your offer of admission, send the acceptance deposit to Accounting Services as instructed in the Admission Summary section of your admission letter. Remember, the acceptance deposit is non-refundable and will be credited to your tuition account. It must be paid before you can register for courses.

If you want to live on campus, but haven't already applied for on-campus housing, make sure to apply right away.

Your admission letter will include a course registration date. This is the time and date on which you can sign up for courses. (Please note that depending on the time of year that admission is granted, course registration information may be sent in a follow-up letter.) UVic course registration is done online using WebReg. For more information, see the registration checklist.

Don't forget to think about joining the Co-operative Education Program. Most students apply or are admitted in their second year. Be sure to also take advantage of the many services and facilities UVic has to offer.

New Student Orientation

Attending university can be a big change in your life. Whether you're coming from high school, college, another university, or returning to academic life after time in the work force, it can be difficult to process everything. We want to make sure that you have support to achieve your goals. The Student Transition Centre provides a number of services to assist students as questions arise regarding life at UVic.
