Prepare your dependent child for UBC admission
When a dependent child progresses from high school to post-secondary education, it can be an exciting, overwhelming and confusing time for you and your child.
Nothing common about it
You can’t miss it when you enter campus — the new Commons building shines like a high-tech silver ship perched on the edge of campus. The building is an exciting new addition to the campus environment and there is collective anticipation of its January opening among students, faculty and staff alike.
Readers needed: help evaluate student profiles
Volunteer broad-based admissions readers are critical to the undergraduate admission process and in helping to shape our community of students on campus.
Pedestrian overpass now open
The new John Hindle Drive pedestrian overpass is now open, allowing people to conveniently walk or cycle from UBC Okanagan directly to the Academy Hill neighbourhood south of campus. The overpass can be accessed just south of the Reichwald Health Sciences Centre.
Notice of water main flushing
UBC will be conducting their campus-wide semi-annual water main flushing next week, from October 16 to 18. Flushing of water mains normally occurs between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
