Current Students

Getting Started

Congratulations! Now that you have been admitted into the ISGP program, one of the first things to do is to create a Campus-Wide-Login (CWL) account so that you can access your records on the Student Service Centre (SSC) account. For info on how to do so, please visit here.

Once you set up your CWL, use it to log into your SSC account to access your records.

Academic Progress

The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (G+PS) web site is a great resource for any information you are looking for in regards to your program needs (e.g. Auditing a course; Request for Leave; Extensions; Change in Registration; Applying for awards…etc.)

Here is a timeline and sequence of steps of your program (from being admitted to graduation). For more information on each step, please clink on the link:

Academic Interruption

If you feel that your academic progress is being hindered by extenuating circumstances, please contact the ISGP office immediately to discuss the possibility of a leave of absence. Simply send our office a brief email letting us know that you are experiencing difficulties.  An email of this nature can later be used to support your request for a leave of absence. 

Please note that G+PS discourages retroactive requests of any nature. The sooner you contact the office, the easier it is for us to help you find a solution.

Deadlines

Please also check the various deadlines that are relevant to Graduate Students on the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (G+PS) web site.

If your supervisors have changed since you entered the ISGP, please notify the ISGP Office and ask your new co-supervisor to fill out the Student Supervisor Agreement.

The composition of your co-supervisors and supervisory committee must be at least 50% UBC members.

To recommend a non-UBC supervisor, please fill out the form here and submit all documents to the ISGP for further approval.
