The deadline for students to submit their CGS-Master’s applications via the Research Portal is before 5:00 pm PT on 1 December 2023. This deadline is set nationally and is not flexible; UBC has no administrative authority/means to extend the deadline for applicants.

Unlike the Doctoral competition, CGSM application materials cannot be revised after the deadline. Applicants are strongly encouraged to follow the application instructions and presentation standards when preparing their application.

Important reminders regarding transcripts:

• The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies does not provide transcripts for award/scholarship applications.
• The ‘Transcript Checklist – Master’s’ covers questions related to transcript requirements.  The checklist is posted on the Award Administration webpage.
• It is the applicant’s responsibility to submit official, up-to-date transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate studies via the Research Portal before the deadline. An application will be deemed ineligible if it does not include the up-to-date transcripts required for determining grade point average (academic standing) in each of the last two completed years of study (full-time equivalent).
• Transcripts cannot be updated or submitted separately after the deadline.
