UBC AND SFU CONTINUE TO RECOGNIZE RVS COURSES THE SAME AS NEIGHBOURHOOD SCHOOL COURSES. UBC and SFU recognize RVS courses will not be held to the January 31st deadline as other DL courses. Across the province, only our linear courses will continue to be treated the same as linear neighbourhood courses. The linked letter from UBC continues to recognize RVS courses the same as our neighbourhood school courses. Mostly because RVS students follow a blended online model of face-to...-face meetings and online learning as a cohort. The relationships and hands-on learning are fundamental to our students' successes. Thus, RVS term 2 marks will continue to be accepted for admissions averages in March as the one exception that DL courses must be completed by February 1st. Instead of self-reporting to UBC, the marks will come direct from the ministry this year. https://rvs.sd38.bc.ca//RVS%20Instructions%20to%20students https://you.ubc.ca/applying-ubc/canadian-highschools/ http://www.sfu.ca/admission.html
