Apply to UFV

Apply early to get the best selection

Seats in many programs are limited and popular programs fill up quickly. Review application deadlines to give yourself plenty of time. 

Applicants who do not complete their application by the application deadline, or applicants who want to change their program or first semester of study after completing their application, will have to re-apply and pay the $150 non-refundable application fee.

Studied at UFV before and need to re-apply? 

Effective Winter 2017 all returning students who have not studied at UFV for more than one calendar year (or three semesters) will need to re-apply and pay the $150 non-refundable application fee.  When you reapply online, be sure to enter your UFV Student ID number.

Complete your application

UFV International's online application gives you the ability to save your information so that you can submit your documents and complete your application at your own convenience.

To complete the application, you need to provide the following information:

• Personal information: Have your passport on hand and enter your name and birthdate exactly as it appears. If you do not have a last name, please leave this field blank.
• Agency information: If an agent in your country is helping you apply, please enter their Agency ID number.
• Language information: Enter your English language score.      
• Education information: List your high school and all colleges or universities you have attended.

Upload all necessary documents

Upload the following with your application:

• A copy of your high school transcript(s) and, if you attended a university or college, copies of those transcripts too.  UFV can release a conditional letter of admission based on review of your unofficial transcripts. Please note that you will be required to provide the official transcripts of high school and university studies before an official letter of admission can be issued.
• A copy of your passport.
• Your English proficiency test results (TOEFL, IELTS, LPI). To get your TOEFL iBT score sent automatically to UFV use code 9736 when you take the test.

If you do not have all your documents available when you apply online, you can send them to us later. Or you can save your application and come back to it later to attach your documents. 

Pay your application fee

When you have completed your online application, you will be prompted to pay a non-refundable fee of $150 CAD for an undergraduate program application and $250 for a post-baccalaureate or master's degree application. Find out how to pay.
