The Department of Educational Studies (EDST) recognizes that the political turmoil in Iran has disrupted the work and life for many Iranian citizens. Applicants from Iran affected by the turmoil are encouraged to email the Graduate Advisor at gradadvisor.edst@ubc.ca if they experience challenges with submitting application materials on time. Case by case extension to the existing deadlines will be considered. This measure applies to the submission of transcripts and reference letters.
