UBC Procedures for Retention Candidates

Faculties can request a JELF cap for retention candidates, where the candidate has another offer (or potential offer) from another institution, the requestor (Faculty ADR) needs to demonstrate strong commitment from the Faculty and Department to the candidate.  For example, a 30% cash contribution from the Faculty, Department and Research Institute towards the project cash budget demonstrates strong commitment. Please email your completed JELF cap request forms to ipo.admin@ubc.ca.
