SLAIS Policy on Admissions
The enrolment in the School's master's programs is limited and the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number of available places. The policy of the School is to accept only students whose personal, professional, and academic qualifications offer promise of successful practice in the archival and/or library and information field. An Admissions Committee determines this by review of academic records, work history, letters of reference, and quality of responses in the questionnaire portion of the application form.
Virtual Open House
SLAIS regularly hosts Virtual Open House sessions for applicants and those interested in apply to all SLAIS programs. These are held several times a year. The chat uses a UBC-based live online classroom interface. No special software is needed, and you do not need a password to enter. More infomation on our next Virtual Open House.
