Orientations
If you’re new to university life or simply continuing your university career, UBC offers an orientation program for you. Join thousands of other cheering students at a pep rally, or take in a sunset concert with your faculty – your first days on campus are important and we’ll make sure they are memorable!
Orientations for all students
UBC’s orientation programs are your chance to connect with other new students, meet your professors, and get to know your way around campus.
Though the orientations on the Okanagan and Vancouver campuses are unique, they all feature:
- Campus tours so you can find out the best spots to study, eat, socialize, and rest.
- Faculty engagement so you can meet other students in your program, find out about faculty-specific resources, and meet your professors.
- Access to services and campus resources so you know how to find what you need after classes start.
- Entertainment, prizes, and UBC loot!
