PMBA Checklist

Are you ready for your UBC PMBA program?

Go through the checklist to ensure that you are prepared to start your program.

Task Description Deadline
1. Mark your calendar – your program begins with Professional Residency I (BA 501) which will run for 8 full days from January 9-16, 2021. Please ensure that you have made arrangements with your employer as attendance is mandatory for all days of the Residencies. A detailed schedule of the Residency will be posted closer to the start of the program. Upon acceptance

2. Ensure that you will have a laptop computer for the duration of your program. Your laptop and home Internet service must meet the minimum requirements (under Computers drop down menu).

Please also note the Robert H. Lee Graduate School’s “lids down” policy for all classes (see item 6.5 here), including the residencies. This means that students should only open their laptops when asked to by the instructor in order to undertake a specific activity. Similarly, cell phones, tablets, and other personal technology must be turned off during class and stowed away.

 Upon acceptance

3. Review the PMBA Academic Prep Tutorials and complete the studies in any areas where you need to brush up your knowledge/skills.

 Upon acceptance

4. Explore all sections of this program site, and bookmark this site on your computer – you will be notified as more sections of the site are made available over the coming months, like the myPMBA Career tile. 

 Upon access

5. Sign-up for the optional Buddy Program where you will be matched with a current student.
