UBC is aware that our online application on the EducationPlannerBC website is experiencing technical issues. The application is open, but intermittent disruptions may prevent you from accessing the website to submit your application to UBC. We are working with EducationPlannerBC to resolve this matter, but we recommend that you work through your application carefully and save your progress frequently - to ensure your work isn't lost during one of these disruptions. If you experience issues while you're working on your application or if you cannot access the website at all, please take a break and try again a little later. We want to reassure you that these disruptions will not negatively affect your application to UBC nor will it impact your consideration for a scholarship. UBC has extended the deadline to apply to be considered for a scholarship. If you wish to be considered, you will now have until December 8, 2025, at 11:59 pm (PST). We'll update this space with more details as we get them.

Clubs and societies

Joining a club can be a great way to find new interests outside of academics – or delve deeper into your specialty area by joining your program's course union. From brewing to aviation, and quadball to comic books, scope out what UBC has to offer before arriving on campus.

Student-run clubs

Choose your own adventure from hundreds (and hundreds) of student-run clubs and course unions across both the Okanagan campus and the Vancouver campus. Explore topics and interests outside of your area of study to reveal hidden talents and discover new skills. Clubs – like students – come in all varieties: academic, athletic, leisure, political, performance, social action, and special interest.

Academic associations and course unions

Most faculties at UBC also have undergraduate societies or student associations that bring students together inside and outside the classroom. Join and participate in study sessions, field trips, and public projects that involve the larger student population.
