New to UBC

Orientations

UBC's orientation programs are a great way for new students to learn about campus life and make new friends. Whether you've just graduated from high school, are coming to Canada from abroad, or are transferring to UBC from another university, we have an orientation program for you.

If you would like to volunteer with UBC Orientations, read the Leadership Opportunities section on the Involvement on campus web page.
