To meet UBC Nursing (Vancouver Campus) admission criteria, individuals must meet the Human Anatomy and Physiology (HAP) requirement (at least 6 credits). This can be obtained through the following:
- You may complete BIOL 153 or BIOL 155 at UBC within 4 years at time of application.
- You can complete HAP courses at another post-secondary institution – (must meet ALL 3 criteria below):
- Your HAP courses must be listed on this HAP Approved Course List for 2024 Entry (This list is modified each year. We will do our best to update this as soon as possible, but please refer to the UBC-V BSN website if the most up-to-date list is not linked.)
- Your HAP courses must be completed in the exact combination and order stated on the HAP Approved Course List.
- Your HAP courses must be completed after September 2020 for the September 2025 intake (within 4 years of application).
- If you have not completed BIOL 153 or BIOL 155 at UBC or your HAP courses are not listed on the HAP Approved Course List, you must fill out a PLAR form for your HAP courses to be evaluated.
**Note: a PLAR application does NOT guarantee that your HAP courses will be approved by the School of Nursing**
