Day one, done right! Welcome to the UBC experience.
On the first day of classes, campus is transformed and the entire UBC community comes together to welcome you to your new academic community during Imagine UBC.
You’ll have the chance to meet great people on campus, including your Dean, some of your future professors, and other students. Whether you are a returning student, a new major or minor or merely curious, we invite you to learn more about our department at Imagine UBC!
