The University Transition Program, often called the Transition Program, UBC Transitions, UTP, or simply Transition, is an early college entrance program funded by the Vancouver School Board, the University of British Columbia and the BC Ministry of Education that is based in the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Each year, the program accepts around 20 new students between the ages 12 and 15, half of which are from outside the Vancouver School District. Over the course of two years, students complete required high school curriculum along with some university coursework. When they graduate from the program, the students are usually accepted into UBC earlier than they would if they had graduated from a regular high school (aged 14–17 instead of 18–19). The program was first established in 1993 by the Vancouver School Board, British Columbia Ministry of Education and the University of British Columbia. Students of the program have access to most UBC facilities and are eligible to possess UBC undergraduate student cards. The program held its 20th anniversary on May 15–17, 2015. Location The Transition Program is located within the University of British Columbia, in the Auditorium Annex located on West Mall. It is above the Math Graduates office, across from the Pacific Institute of Mathematical Sciences building, and behind the Walter C. Koerner Library. Program The University Transition Program consists of two years of instruction.
