Tips on communicating with IRCC
Residence life and commuter services
UBC Okanagan provides support for your student whether they are living on campus, living at home, or living independently in Kelowna.
On campus residents
Residence is much more than just a place on campus for your student to sleep and study, it’s about making connections and being a part of a community.

Commuter students
Students who commute to campus can call our Collegia spaces their home away from home while on campus.
Outfitted with amenities such as kitchen facilities, solo and group study spaces, and comfortable furniture, these spaces are usually staffed by senior student leaders who are available to help your student feel welcome, answer their questions, and offer referrals to other resources.
Food on campus
UBC Okanagan Food Services serves our students, staff, and faculty in a variety of ways. Due to COVID-19 and the associated reduction of in-person classes and students on campus, some dining locations will be closed.
Off-campus, students can use their meal plan Flex Dollars at one of the many campus dining partners.
