The PLAR application is completed through a survey form located on the UBC School of Nursing Website. Before starting the survey, ensure you have the following ready:
  • transcript (interim or final) that lists all the courses you will be submitting for PLAR approval
  • the name of the institution where you took your HAP courses
  • titles/names and course numbers/codes of all HAP courses (lecture and laboratory)
  • PDF of FULL/COMPLETE syllabi for EACH INDIVIDUAL COURSE you are submitting for PLAR review. Note: all courses for PLAR review will be submitted on the same survey, so be sure to have them all ready before beginning the application.
  • The PLAR application survey will provide details on what to name your PDF documents. Here is an example of the naming format from the 2023 Intake:
    • Last Name, First Name, UBC Student Number, Course Name, Course Code and Number – Syllabus
