Important dates and deadlines
Current academic deadlines such as adding and dropping courses are listed in the University Calendar.
Deadlines for awards depend on the type of award and vary year to year. Most departments should know what awards are available by September 1 and deadlines start about two weeks from that - though they vary somewhat from year to year.
- UVic and federal awards such as NSERC: contact your department for its internal deadline.
- Donor and alumni awards vary in number, timing and value. Get information from your department and Student Awards and Financial Aid.
