Housing
All applications for on-campus residence must be made through UBC Student Housing and Hospitality Services.
Priority access for disability or chronic medical reasons
If, as a student with a disability or chronic medical condition, you feel that you need to live on campus or you have special requirements for student housing, please review the Application for Priority Access (425 KB) to determine if you should apply. You are required to provide medical documentation indicating the presence of a disability or chronic medical condition, and how that condition necessitates on-campus housing.
In order to be recommended for priority access, you must have disability-related needs that cannot be met in off-campus housing. The presence of a disability is insufficient to qualify for priority placement. Priority access is only considered in exceptional circumstances.
Course load requirements
If, as a student with a disability or chronic medical condition, you are unable to meet Student Housing’s credit load requirement (12 credits/term) for disability-related reasons, you can make a request to your Diversity Advisor – Disability to be considered eligible to remain in student housing with a minimum of 6 credits/term.
Application deadline: May 1st
