Academic & Career Development
We provide Academic & Career Advising, workshops and events to build your career readiness skills, and host employer programming at UBCO. Our goal is to help UBCO students navigate their degrees and career paths in the best way to achieve their personal and professional goals.
Athletics & Recreation
Welcome to UBCO, home to the Heat. Our Athletics team supports UBCO student-athletes and varsity athletics, while our Recreation team offers many ways to support physical wellbeing on campus for all students. Hit the gym, try out a group fitness class, or join an intramural league. Recreation is a fantastic way to meet new people, maintain your physical fitness, and take a healthy break from your academics.
Global Engagement Office
The Global Engagement Office works to foster a global campus community where inclusiveness, equity, open-mindedness, curiosity, and humility are nurtured at home and abroad.
