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 Vancouver campus will last 2 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!

Are you an Aboriginal student?

Let us know! We can arrange additional programming and make sure an Aboriginal advisor is available to meet with you. Please register for a tour using the button above and then contact us at aboriginal.tours@ubc.ca.

UBC’s group tours last 1.5 hours and are led by friendly and knowledgeable student ambassadors. 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. We offer group tours at 10:30am on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays only.
• Submit your tour request at least 4 weeks, but no more than 3 months, in advance.
• Ensure you have 1 adult supervisor (teacher, counsellor, or parent) available for every 15 students.

We do our best to accommodate group tour requests, but it’s not always possible due to high demand.

Are you part of an Aboriginal group?

UBC’s Aboriginal group tours are led by friendly and knowledgeable Aboriginal ambassadors. In addition to visiting key spots on campus, you’ll have a chance to explore dedicated spaces, services, and resources available to Aboriginal students at UBC. If you’re interested, we can also arrange a tour of the First Nations Longhouse or the Museum of Anthropology, a peer mentor session, or a faculty-specific info session.
