UBC Wayfinding tool is a great resource for finding the location of the building your course takes place. NURS courses that are located in the UBC Hospital Koerner Pavilion, can be found on the 3rd floor of the Hospital (where the School of Nursing is located).

You are encouraged to familiarize yourself with the interests of our faculty members and to contact those with whom you seek to study. 

Once you have come to an agreement with your supervisor, you will need to formalize the relationship by documenting it in the Student Tracking System (STS).  

• Log into STS (https://sts.nursing.ubc.ca/) with your CWL.  
• On the right side blue menu, click "Supervisory Committee".  
• On the new page, click the button "Add Supervisor" and select your supervisor from the drop down menu. Please keep in mind that this is to formalize the supervisory relationship - you are expected to have already discussed the relationship with the chosen faculty member and received their agreement to be your supervisor. 
• Once you submit, an automated email will go to your supervisor for review and approval.

To be placed on the waitlist for a course, please contact School of Nursing Student Support Office (student.services@nursing.ubc.ca).  Provide the course number, your full name and student number for efficient assistance.

Students can login to PeP, go to Reports section and select ‘Export Complete Portfolio’ to download their records.  Note: student access to PeP is revoked after graduation. In most cases it is encouraged that students export their own records before their access is revoked.

The Centre for Student Involvement & Careers (CSIC) in Brock Hall has resources for students on resume advising, career counseling and employer information sessions for most programs.

The CSIC also has a job postings board called Careers Online which is free & exclusive for UBC Students & Alumni. You will need your CWL to login.

The School of Nursing is able to verify the academic and practice education details of your Nursing program; however, we are not able to provide transcripts, or the stamp and seal of the Registrar at UBC. This latter service is provided through Enrolment Services. 

Please review the information and instructions outlined on our website.

Students must order their transcripts themselves (the School of Nursing is not permitted to order them on your behalf). 

Order UBC Official Transcripts from Enrolment Services

Note for Graduate Students Applying for Funding Competitions:

If you are a graduate student applying for awards & funding competitions, you will need transcripts to show your current registration & courses in progress.

Here's what to do to obtain a copy of what your program has on file for you:

1. Check the competition application details to verify if the competition accepts "PDFs of Official Transcripts," PDFs of "UBC Advising Transcript" or "Official UBC Transcripts."
2. Student Services can assist you in obtaining PDF copies of your "UBC Advising Transcript" and PDF copies of transcripts you submitted with your admissions application to graduate school at the School of Nursing.
3. To request a copy of the UBC Grad & PostDoc Studies (G+PS) verified transcripts you submitted into e-vision at the start of your program, please email awards@nursing.ubc.ca
4. We will retrieve the copies we have on file, and supplement a copy of your Advising Transcript to show your current enrolment & courses in progress, then email you the package as PDF.
5. If the competition requires that you order official transcripts, you'll be required to do that online as per this link from above.

Please Note: If you need other letters to verify your enrolment (such as when you apply for RNFBC or CNF Scholarships, please see this FAQ on Proof of Enrolment or this FAQ on RNFBC Applications)
