New students, keep an eye on your email inbox this summer for updates — and don’t forget to follow @ubcostudents on Instagram and YouTube for behind-the-scenes student life content.

UBC 101 for Indigenous Students

UBC 101’s Indigenous student stream is designed for new-to-UBCO First Nations, Métis and Inuit students. Your learning will be supported by the Indigenous Programs and Services Office and the Indigenous peer mentor team. The Indigenous Student Stream will give you all the information you need to know before classes start and will offer opportunities to connect with other students over the summer, plan for your arrival at UBCO, and register for exciting events including Indigenous Student Orientation.
