Parents
Welcome
This website has been designed to help parents and families support their UBC students from the beginning of first year all the way through to graduation. And while UBC students are independent adults, their families certainly play an important role in helping them achieve their goals.

As students make important life decisions and take on personal responsibility for their academic, financial and personal success, we hope the information provided on this website will help you in your supportive role as a parent or family member.
