Successful completion of the Vantage program meets the ELAS requirement for all direct-entry undergraduate programs, though each program may determine its own admission requirements.
The following rubrics apply to students enrolled in all required courses of a Vantage program. Progression rules may vary slightly for those who are enrolled in a Vantage Advising-approved reduced course load (e.g. students registered with the Centre for Accessibility, Varsity athletes). See Vantage Academic Advising for more information.
Vantage One Arts
UBC Vantage One Arts students who pass all courses with an average of at least 60% will be eligible for year two of the B.A. degree program.
Students who do not successfully complete the full UBC Vantage One Arts program or who achieve an average lower than 60% in the full program will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, where there is evidence of academic promise for study in Arts. For more detailed information on the criteria used in these case-by-case decisions, please see vantagecollege.ubc.ca/progression-second-year
Vantage One Engineering
The Faculty of Applied Science delivers engineering programs at both UBC campuses: Okanagan and Vancouver. The Faculty has reserved space for all UBC Vantage One Engineering students to be able to transition to a second-year program. Half of the reserved spaces are located on the Okanagan campus, and the other half are located at the Vancouver campus.
UBC Vantage One Engineering students who pass all courses with an average of at least 60% will be eligible for year two of the B.A.Sc. degree program.
Program selection is competitive, and all students will be asked to rank both their preferred campus and their eligible program1. Academic performance at the end of the Winter Session and a personal statement are considered in placing students into programs in second year.
Students who do not successfully complete the full UBC Vantage One Engineering program or who achieve an average lower than 60% in the full program can apply to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis for evidence of academic promise for continued study in Engineering at UBC.

Upon successful completion of the UBC Vantage One Engineering program, students will be eligible for second year standing. Additional program requirements (humanities elective or APSC 181, depending on program) that are normally completed in first year will not have been met and must also be completed prior to graduation. Students transferring into the second year of the Biomedical Engineering program who have not completed all required first year BME courses may be required to complete additional first year course work during second year.
