About to be a first year, looking at the photos of the dorm room and seeing that the desk has this shelf thing above/on top of it. But when I toured the building I didn’t see it in the demo show room. I can tell a lot of the photos on the website haven’t been updated in a while. Is this actually a thing that the rooms have? Thinking for storage/ place to put my bullshit.

Im an incoming first year, international student.

It was taking really long to hear from housing, so i sent an email.

they told me that since I got out of highschool for more than a year, I was not guaranteed (even though I applied before may 1st), and they encouraged me to search for off campus.

The point is, I have no idea how any of this works, Im from Brasil, and cannot go in person to any visit and what nots. I am really lost here.

does anyone knows about housing and can help me out on this one?

Is anybody living at veda this yr? I honestly haven’t met a lot of people who stay here so im trying to make friends since it’ll be easier to walk to campus and stuff. dm me:)

Hello everyone,

So i’m an international student here for a UBCO summer program and I’m currently staying in Veda, but I don’t know anyone here. So, would anyone be down to meet and hangout. Shoot me a dm if you’re down

Hey everyone 👋

My name is Nirvana, I am an international student and I received my admission into UBCO in May, 2026. I’m joining in the Fall 2026 (September) intake and will be a 1st year undergraduate student pursuing a BA Psychology.

I applied for on campus student accommodations on 20th June (I know, I should have applied earlier but could not due to other circumstances). It’s been a month and three days and I am yet to hear anything from UBCO regarding my student housing on campus.
Should I have received some intimation about this matter by now? If they do not allot me any on-campus accommodation, they will send me an email communicating the same, right? If anybody has a timeline for by when I should get an update from the university regarding this, I would greatly appreciate it if you would shed some light on the situation.

What are the two easiest classes out of these:
MGMT_O 201, MGMT_O 202, MGMT_O 220, MGMT_O 230, MGMT_O 250, MGMT_O 290

Hi!

If anybody has this class’s syllabus and would be able to dm me that’d be amazing as I need it for prerequisite course review form for master’s program!!

Anybody know which clubs are hiring rn? i am wanting to make friends through clubs.

Like, I know bbno$ was here, but has anyone else been here since then? I haven't really seen any, and I know the other campus has quite a few creators and such. Just curious

What’s everyone’s general experience with these bike boxes? Is it a safe option?

Hello, I am a student who will be attending UBCO after taking a hiatus from my studies at UBCV. I am looking to make some connections here in the Okanagan before the semester starts, so feel free to send a message if you would also be interested.

Hey guys, why does my admission letter say summer 2026 session yet everything else is for winter session timeline like final transcript by july 15th? And how is it possible that I am admitted for summer session if classes started in May?

In the important dates section on the website it says that residence payment is due on august 1st but I can't pay on SHCS website? Its July 18th which is eerily close to August 1st. Nothing shows up it just says its up to date. Any ideas? Thanks!

what are some easy 300 400 level econ classes

Hi everyone!

I’m going into my first year this fall in the Bachelor of Science program at UBCO, and I had a question about Physics.

One of my degree requirements is PHYS 111 or PHYS 112, so either course should satisfy the prerequisite.

When registration first opened, all of the PHYS 112 (Introductory Physics for the Life Sciences) sections were full, so I registered in PHYS 111 (Introductory Physics for the Physical Sciences) instead.

Today, while looking through Workday (since it’s the last day for registration), I noticed that a PHYS 112 section has an available seat and it would fit my schedule perfectly. However, whenever I try to register, I get an error saying that I don’t meet the eligibility requirements.

I’m confused because another first-year BSc student I know was able to register in PHYS 112 without any issues. Does anyone know why I might be getting this eligibility error? Could it be because I’m already enrolled in PHYS 111, or is there another reason?

I also wanted to ask what the main differences are between PHYS 111 and PHYS 112. Which one would you recommend for a general Bachelor of Science student? Does one prepare you better for future courses, or is one generally considered easier than the other?

Thanks so much for any advice! 😊

Hi everyone I'm Engineering and want some nice r grade boosters.

Any recommendations? 🙂🙂🙂

(I took psych previously and really struggled with it because my brain couldn't comprehend such a topic and I wouldn't encounter it in engineering)

Is canvas down?

hii for anyone whos in ubco science can u write down ur grades/averages for when u applied, and ecs plz i want a general idea if i should even apply or not waste my time

UPDATE: Once your residence is assigned and you are invoiced for the fees, you can defer the payment if you provide proof of applying for a student loan. You can't have it deferred until you are invoiced though. Thanks everyone for helping me with this.

This is for winter 2026/27. I am a new student, starting in year one in September.

Do you know if you can defer payment two which is about $7000 for residence and meal fees. it is due Aug 1 and I am waiting on funds to come in to help cover some of it (student loan) and haven't found a summer job yet and only have some savings.

I had thought it was due in September. I'm worried about this. I guess I looked at the payment schedule for last year and made some assumptions and planned for that.
