It is your responsiblity to ensure that all transcripts are uploaded by the required deadline. After submission your application will be checked to be sure it is correct and complete and you will be contacted by email to advise you of any required changes if necessary.  Applications are reviewed by your academic unit and then scored by the UVic SSHRC Selection Committee.

All applicants will be notified in late November to let you know if your application has been chosen by UVic.
