View this email in your browser IOF SEMINAR – November 18, 2022   Portrait of the marine biodiversity in the Canadian Arctic     During this presentation, Dr. Archambault will discuss misconceptions that circulate about marine biodiversity in the Canadian Arctic. For example, the Arctic is seen as an area with low marine biodiversity, but is that the case in Canada? Furthermore, climate change affects sea ice cover, and Arctic marine life depends on this environmental condition, but will the seafloor organisms also be affected?   Dr. Philippe Archaumbault Professor, Université Laval Friday, November 18, 2022 – 11:00am  – 12 noon Hybrid: In-person (TBC) and over Zoom     IOF community members (students, faculty and staff) do not need to RSVP for this seminar series.

Update regarding transcript requirements for CGSM and Affiliated Fellowships-Master’s – unofficial transcripts are acceptable

Please note that official transcripts are now preferred, but not required, for CGSM and Affiliated Fellowships-Master’s applications.

CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC have indicated that, due to COVID-19, unofficial transcripts will be accepted in cases where CGSM applicants were not able to obtain an official transcript in time for the deadline.  If an applicant is providing an unofficial transcript, it must still be authentic, complete and up to date.

As the Affiliated Fellowships-Master’s application is closely modelled after the CGSM award application, unofficial transcripts are now also permitted for the Affiliated application.

The UBC CGSM and Affiliated Fellowships-Master’s webpages have been updated to reflect this new information.
