Application for Waiver of Doctoral Residency Requirement


Form Type: Application
Form For: Faculty and Staff

Description

The residency requirement for all Ph.D. students registered in programs on the UBC Okanagan campus is a minimum of 24 months of accumulated full-time study at the University from the point of beginning a Ph.D. to its conclusion.

For doctoral students pursuing research that prevents them from fulfilling the residency requirement at the UBC Okanagan campus, it is necessary to develop alternative plans for engagement that enable students to benefit from a UBC doctoral education. Such plans must indicate how students will engage with the program and fulfill program requirements, and may also include participation in relevant communities of scholars in non-traditional ways. Please review the full policy in the Calendar.

To apply for a waiver of this requirement, the student’s supervisor must complete all three sections below and the form must be approved by the graduate student, the Graduate Program Coordinator, and the Dean of the College of Graduate Studies.
