Indigenous Programs & Services at UBC’s Okanagan campus has designated Indigenous Student Advisors to provide support to self-identified First Nation, Métis, and Inuit students starting from their UBC application and throughout their time as a student. Learn more about Indigenous self-identification
An Indigenous Student Advisor can help you navigate your academic journey with a holistic approach, including academic, cultural, social and physical considerations. We also provide informed assistance for matters that relate specifically to Indigenous students, including Third Party Sponsorship, and admissions pathways.
Our Indigenous Student Advisors are able to support you through your specific program of study. To meet with an advisor, please either submit the request for an appointment form, drop in to the Indigenous Centre (UNC 210), or email an advisor directly.
