New students

Welcome to the School of Environmental Studies at UVic! You’ll find resources for new undergraduates and new graduate students on the main student website.

We've also compiled ES-specific undergrad FAQs and graduate FAQs to help answer some common queries.

If you're a new ES undergraduate, be sure to sign up for the ENVI Undergraduate Newsletter, published every 2 weeks. It keeps the ES community up to date about jobs, events and opportunities for undergrads. If you have something you’d like included in the newsletter, please send us an email!
