Viewing your residency and citizenship

About your residency status

Your UBC tuition and student fees are determined based on your residency status in Canada. This is shown on your Student Profile Summary in Workday as a status of Canadian “Resident” or “Nonresident”. Learn whether you’ll have to pay international or domestic tuition fees depending on your status.

To change your citizenship status or residency you must contact Enrolment Services – Student Records and Financial Services in person at UNC 214 or via email at srfs.ubco@ubc.ca, and be prepared to present your citizenship and/or residency documents. You cannot change this information in Workday.
