English Foundation Program Student Resources
EAP Courses
Each EAP term consists of 240 hours of programming designed to maximize your English language skills and foster academic success. A typical week includes 12 hours of reading, writing, listening, and speaking classes, three hours of campus, community, and culture lessons, three hours of language labs and field trips, and two hours of tutorial support.
Each EAP course you take can count as an elective (three credits) towards your undergraduate degree.
Students entering EFP through EAP 103 can complete up to 24 credits in the first year. With summer courses in Years 2 and 3, students may be able to complete an undergraduate program of studies in four years.
Students entering EFP through EAP 104 can complete up to 30 credits in the first year. With 30 credits completed in the first year, students may be able to complete an undergraduate program of studies in four years.

Graduate Student Course Planning
Graduate students should speak with their supervisor to select appropriate courses.
Please note, as EAP courses are 100-level, graduate students will not be able to use the credits towards their degree.
Health & Wellbeing
The Student Wellness team collaborates with campus and community partners to ensure top-quality health care for students. Visit their website to access services such as counselling and the health clinic. There are also resources to 24/7 services, including the Wellness Centre Online that offers self-care modules, wellness tips and community support.
The UBC Office of Professional Learning has developed an online, self-paced resource to develop your mental health literacy and to teach mental health literacy (suitable for ages 12 to 19). They can be taken as a complete course or individually via each of the 7 modules. Participation is free.
