Welcome to the Department of Educational Studies (EDST). This document provides useful informationfor those who have been admitted to one of our graduate programs. Please read it and use it. UBC is alarge, complex and dynamic place with many programs, services and opportunities for growth. The informationbelow is intended to help you make a smooth transition into your program. Some of this informationwill be important to act on as soon as you receive notification that you have been accepted into theprogram, while other information will be more relevant later on.A. Accepting Our Offer of AdmissionIn most cases, students admitted to graduate programs at UBC receive a letter from the department and anemail and letter from the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (G&PS). The letter from GraduateStudies is your official offer of admission. It is very helpful to know as soon as possible whether you will beaccepting the offer of admission, so please send us an email (addressed to grad.edst@ubc.ca), letter or fax(604.822.4244) once you make your decision. If you decide to not accept our offer, this may open a spacein the program for another applicant, so please let us know as soon as you can. If you find that you cannotbegin the program when you expected, please contact the Graduate Program Assistant or Graduate Adviserto discuss deferring your admission or reapplying for a later start date.B. Working With Your SupervisorIn the Welcome letter you received from the department you will find the name and contact informationof your supervisor. This person is responsible for answering questions you have about the department andyour program, for advice about applying for scholarships or fellowships, for completing a Program ofStudy Worksheet and the Supervision Principles document with you, and for providing guidance in theearly stages of your program. It is important to contact your supervisor as soon as possible after beingadmitted, but certainly before you register for courses. Once courses are opened for registration, many fillup quickly, so to avoid disappointment, meet with your supervisor and make sure you understand the requirementsof your program. Many students remain working with the supervisor they were initially assigned,while others change. Please note that you can change supervisors. Often this happens because anotherfaculty member is a better match to your areas of interest and expertise. Sometimes a change occursbecause of differences in styles of communication and sometimes change occurs due to personality differences.Please consult with the EDST Graduate Advisor if you have questions about this process.C. Preparing to Meet With Your SupervisorBefore meeting with your supervisor, there are several things you should do to prepare. First, read theSteps to Graduation document for your degree program on the Policies and Forms section of our departmentalwebsite, edst.educ.ubc.ca/current-students/steps-to-graduation/. This document lists the importantevents in your degree program from acceptance through to graduation. The timeline for your degreegives you a good idea of the normal sequence in which these events occur and highlights policies andprocedures you should know about. Second, download and read the Program of Studies Worksheet foryour degree program and specialization (from the Policies and Forms sections of the website,edst.educ.ubc.ca/current/policies-and-forms). This worksheet contains information about requiredcourses and provides space to indicate what elective courses you intend to take. If you don’t find the worksheetfor your specific program on the website, please contact the Graduate Program Assistant atgrad.edst@ubc.ca. Third, download the Supervision Principles (also from the Policies and Forms section4

of the website). This document provides definitions and sets out the roles and responsibilities for supervisorsand research supervisors. Lastly, visit the Courses section of the department’s website(http://edst.educ.ubc.ca/courses/) to see the courses listed for your beginning term. Review the courseofferings for that session and list the required courses that are scheduled and any elective courses that areattractive to you. You can also visit the websites of other departments to see what courses they offer thatmight be of interest. Research methods courses are offered by several departments in the Faculty of Education.To see a consolidated listing of all research methods courses, visit the website of the Office of GraduatePrograms and Research (OGPR) Current Students page at:http://ogpr.educ.ubc.ca/grad/current-students/When you meet with your supervisor, she or he will complete the Program of Studies Worksheet with you.It is not necessary to identify all courses in your program before you begin, but completing this form is animportant first step in getting started with your studies. You can complete the top half of the form beforemeeting with your supervisor. A copy of the signed worksheet should be provided to you by your supervisorand the original will be placed in your file.D. Registering For Courses and Maintaining RegistrationYou can register for courses online through the Student Service Centre(https://ssc.adm.ubc.ca/sscportal/servlets/SRVSSCFramework). Incoming students receive a date onwhich they can begin the registration process. In order to access the Student Service Centre, you will needto set up your Campus-Wide Login (CWL). This provides you with an ID and password that you can useto access the SSC along with other secure electronic services on campus, including the web-based emailsystem it.ubc.caTo create a CWL account, visit http://it.ubc.ca/service_catalogue/loginpasswords/campus-wide-login.We encourage students to register in courses as soon as possible for twoimportant reasons. First, by registering as soon as you can, you get the best selection of courses. Somecourses do fill up quickly so registering early gives you greater choice. Second, courses with low enrolmentsmay be cancelled, so registering early will decrease the chances of this happening.If a course you wish to take is full when you attempt to register, it is a good idea to check back periodicallyto see if the course has new spaces. Some students add and drop courses as they make final decisions aboutwhat to take and these decisions can open up space for additional students. If you absolutely need a course(it may be a required course in your program) and it is full, contact the instructor, explain your circumstances,and ask if you can show up at the first class session to see if space is available. Students also addand drop courses during the first week of classes, so check occasionally during the first week to see if spacehas opened up in the course you want.All graduate students admitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies must register when they begin theirstudies. Students must remain continuously registered until the degree is completed, except for periodsof time for which the student is away on an approved leave of absence. Failure to register for two consecutiveterms may result in the student being required to withdraw. Please keep in mind that it is also advantageousto the student to maintain continuous registration from the income tax point of view. RevenueCanada’s educational allowance (Line 323, Tuition and education amounts of the General Tax Return) isdesigned to help students reduce their income taxes by taking into account tuition fees for certain types of5

education, and education amounts. For other Topics/services specifically for students, please visit the RevenueCanada website “Students and Income Tax,”: www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pub/tg/p105/E. Obtaining Your Student Library CardAt UBC, your UBC card is your library card, your student ID card and your voting identification for studentelections. Students who are registered on the Student Service Centre (SSC) and require a UBC cardwith photo should apply in person at the UBC Bookstore. Students should know their student number andmust bring one piece of government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s license, provincial/stateidentification or passport. Please visit www.ubccard.ubc.ca for open hours and more information.F. Paying Tuition and FeesTuition and fees are due three times a year. This is typically in the first week of September, January andMay. The amount of tuition and fees you owe will appear in your account on the Student Service Centrewebsite. Students are expected to register and pay fees continuously from the time of initial enrolment untilthey complete program requirements.Please note, too, that you can opt out of the Alma Mater Society (AMS) Medical/Dental plan if you canprovide evidence of other coverage. There are deadlines for opting out of this program, so if you intend toopt out, call the Health and Dental Plan Information Line at 1.877.795.4421 or visit the website atwww.ihaveaplan.ca to learn about the process and the deadline. You can also opt out of some other fees bymaking a special application. Details about opting out can be found in the Fees section of the UniversityCalendar (www.calendar.ubc.ca/vancouver). Partial or full reimbursement of the Health and Dental Planfee is available on a need basis from the AMS and GSS through the AMS/GSS Health Plan Premium AssistanceFund. The application form is available at www.gss.ubc.ca/main/health-dental-plan-information/and the deadline for the application can be found on this website as well.All students in both the PhD and EdD programs are regarded as full-time, but master’s students who areCanadian citizens or permanent residents have a choice of paying fees on a full-time (Schedule A) or parttime(Schedule B) basis. See the Fees section of the University Calendar for details on the differences betweenthese two payment schedules. All beginning students are assumed by the university to be full time,so if you plan to be a part-time student paying on Schedule B, you must complete a form available on theFaculty of Graduate Studies website and submit it to the EDST Graduate Program Assistant before youbegin your program. This form can be downloaded from the Faculty of Graduate and Postgraduate Studieswebsite, www.grad.ubc.ca, by clicking on Current Students then Forms. The form you need is the Applicationfor Part-time Payment Schedule B. Read the application carefully because paying on Schedule Bmeans you will not be eligible for certain forms of financial support. Please note that you cannot changeyour payment schedule once you begin your program, that is, you cannot switch to full time payment ifyou have signed the Application for Part-time Schedule B form at the beginning of your program and conversely,you cannot switch from Schedule A or full time payment of fees to paying part time fees, once yourprogram has begun.For more information about fees, see www.students.ubc.ca/calendar/index.cfm?tree=14,0,0,06

G. Subscribing to EDST ListservsThe Department communicates to students through a Departmental email listserv. This is how we informstudents about deadlines, awards, research assistantship positions, workshops, and so forth. To be added tothis listserv please send an email message to shermila.salgadoe@ubc.ca.H. Updating Contact InformationPlease remember to send any change of contact information to the Student Information System (SIS) andto the Department so we can maintain an accurate database on our students. Send your change of contactinformation to our Graduate Program Assistant at grad.edst@ubc.ca.I. Taking a Leave From Graduate SchoolIf you find that for health, work or other reasons, you must put a hold on your studies for a time, pleasespeak with your supervisor about requesting a leave of absence from your program. Students are generallypermitted a total of 12 months of leave during their graduate programs, not including parental leave tocare for an infant. You can request a leave for 4-, 8-, or 12-month periods.J. Snail MailEach student in the department is given a mail folder in the mail room in Ponderosa G for the more traditionalforms of transmittal (i.e., paper). Please contact Jeannie Young to have a mail folder made for you(jeannie.young@ubc.ca). The mail room also holds mail slots for faculty, staff, teaching assistants, andsessional instructors.K. PhotocopiersStudents are charged for copying; be sure to arrange for a student access code with Jeannie Young. For voluminouscopies, try SUB Copyshop or off-campus services (it might be cheaper).L. Attending New Student OrientationsEach September, EDST holds an orientation for new students to the department. All newly admitted studentswill be notified of the date, time and location of the orientation. The orientation presents an overviewof the department, introduces people in various administrative and academic roles, provides an opportunityto meet other students in your program, and allows you to get answers to your questions. Inaddition to the department orientation, the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies and other unitsalso schedule sessions for new students. We will do our best to notify all new students about these opportunitiesto learn more about UBC and the services available to you. All incoming students will be sentemail notification of the schedule for this orientation, so please be sure that we have a current email addressfor you.M. Applying for Scholarships/Fellowships (2013/14)Many incoming students are interested in applying for a scholarship or fellowship to support their studies.The most substantial support is provided through two programs. The Social Science and Humanities ResearchCouncil of Canada (SSHRCC) administers several scholarships/fellowships for domestic master’sand doctoral students (go to the SSHRCC website, www.sshrc.ca for up-to-date information). Eligiblemaster’s students can apply for a Canada Graduate Scholarship (CGS) and eligible doctoral students canapply for either a Canada Graduate Scholarship (CGS) or a SSHRCC Doctoral Fellowship. The University7

Affiliated Awards is administered by UBC and is open to both master’s and doctoral students, includinginternational students. Eligible master’s and doctoral students apply for both a SSHRC Fellowship and theAffiliated Awards in the same application.The departmental deadline for receiving SSHRC/Affiliated Awards applications will be posted on the edststudentlistserv. Students new to UBC, particularly PhD students whose SSHRCC application deadline atUBC is in mid to late September, face a serious time crunch to prepare a competitive application, arrangefor letters of reference, and have supporting materials such as original transcripts in by the deadline. CanadaGraduate Scholarships and SSHRC Fellowships are open to Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residentswhile the Affiliated Awards are open to all full-time students. The competition for these awards iskeen so only very strong applications are forwarded by the department to the university adjudicationcommittee. For CGS and SSHRC programs, only the strongest applications are forwarded by the universityadjudication committee to Ottawa for consideration.If you are interested in applying for a CGS, SSHRC or the Affiliated Awards, we urge you to check the followingwebsites for information on eligibility, criteria for assessing applications and the application process.You should also speak to your supervisor early about applying and seek her or his advice about yourapplication. There will also be information sessions offered for applicants by the Department, the Facultyof Education, and the Faculty of Graduate Studies so watch the listservs for announcements and deadlines.SSHRC/CGS information: www.sshrc.caAffiliated Awards information: www.grad.ubc.ca/current-students/scholarships-awards-fundingN. Applying for Teaching, Research and Academic AssistantshipsEach year there are a limited number of assistantships available in the department. All teaching assistantshipsare posted to the department’s website and distributed on one or more of the EDST listservs (seesection G 5). Most teaching assistantships for the winter session that begins in September are filled duringthe prior spring and summer, but occasionally a teaching assistantship will be posted and filled on shortnotice during the winter session. Most teaching assistantships are awarded to experienced students in thesecond or later year of their program. Research assistantships can become available throughout the yearand may or may not be posted. The best way to learn about research assistantships is to talk with facultymembers who have projects you may be interested in working on. Make your interest in serving as a researchassistant known to these faculty and ask them to notify you if an assistantship becomes available. Afew academic assistantships are also available each year and are posted on the EDST website and viaEDST-net. These are usually posted and filled in the spring and summer.O. Travel GrantsThere are three sources of funds to support the travel costs of students who are the first authors of an acceptedpaper for presentation at a conference; each award can be accessed once per student’s program.- The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies graduate student travel fund provides for up to $500per award. For more information on these awards go to www.grad.ubc.ca/awards/graduate-studenttravel-fund.8
