The names and email addresses of two assessors are required when you submit your application; UVic will send those individuals a form on which they will assess you on a variety of dimensions. Your assessors will also be invited to provide a letter of reference. It is important that you contact your assessors in advance to confirm their willingness to provide such an assessment. (NOTE: Applicants with a Masters or Honours degree are expected to use their thesis supervisor as one of their assessors).
