Campus tours

In light of COVID-19 and the suspension of in-person campus tours, UBC is now offering live tours online. To view all upcoming tours and to register, visit the Future Student Portal’s Tours and events page and select the “On campus” tab.

Your guided walking tour of our Okanagan campus will last 1.5 hours and be led by one of our friendly and knowledgeable student ambassadors. You’ll have a chance to:

• Visit a residence, a library, and some recreational and social facilities.
• Learn more about all of the on-campus services available to students.

After the tour, an advisor will be available to answer your questions about UBC’s undergraduate degrees and programs, admissions, scholarship opportunities, and more!

UBC’s group tours last 1.5 hour, including a 15-minute information session with an advisor and a 75-minute walking tour led by a friendly and knowledgeable student ambassador. All tours are conducted in English, so a moderate level of English comprehension is necessary.

When to organize a group tour

• You are organizing a tour for high school students (Grades 10 to 12) or students in a post-secondary transfer program.
• There are up to 50 people in your group.

How to organize a group tour

• Choose a preferred date for your tour.
• Submit your tour request at least 3 weeks in advance with a list of participants, including first names, last names, and email addresses.

UBC’s Indigenous group tours are led by friendly and knowledgeable UBC student ambassadors. In addition to visiting key spots on campus, you’ll have a chance to explore dedicated spaces, services, and resources available to Indigenous students at UBC. If you’re interested, we can also organize an Indigenous student advising session and a chance to connect with Peer Leaders from Aboriginal Programs and Services.
