Join us for a campus tour!

By Crissy Campbell on October 12, 2023

Are you wondering what life at UBC is like? Are you curious about your new classes, or how to build your community? Maybe you’d just like to see if UBC feels like the right place for you?

If so, come and join us for a campus tour ! We have two tour options for both UBC Okanagan and UBC Vancouver – in-person campus tours and live virtual campus tours.

In-person campus tours

Free walking tours are offered throughout the week at both our Okanagan and Vancouver campuses. Each tour lasts 90 minutes on our Okanagan campus and two hours on our Vancouver campus and is led by a friendly student ambassador, current UBC students who are excited to share their knowledge and show you around campus. After your tour, you’ll have the chance to connect with an advisor and ask any questions you have about attending UBC.

Live virtual campus tours

You’ll be in excellent hands as you join our friendly student ambassadors, who provide an in-depth look at UBC. Live virtual tours of the Okanagan campus last for 75 minutes, and the Vancouver campus tours run for 90 minutes. Both finish with a student Q&A panel where you can ask your questions. Our ambassadors are current students who are excited to share their knowledge and experiences with you, and help you discover what it’s like to be a UBC student! All of our live virtual campus tours are offered on Zoom.

Tour schedules

Tours are scheduled at both UBC Okanagan and UBC Vancouver on various days throughout the week. Take a look at our campus tours page to see the most up-to-date schedule.

Additional tours for Indigenous students

We offer Indigenous-specific campus tours for prospective Indigenous students (members of First Nations, Métis, and/or Inuit peoples in Canada) at both of our Okanagan and Vancouver campuses. Tours are led by our friendly and knowledgeable Indigenous student ambassadors who will guide you around campus and highlight Indigenous-specific spaces, services, and resources available to you. After the tour, an Indigenous student advisor will be available to answer your questions. We welcome individual requests and groups of all sizes.

Request an Indigenous campus tour of UBC by emailing [email protected] .

How to register

To view all upcoming campus tours and to register, visit our Tours and events page and select the campus tours tab.

If you are an Indigenous person of Canada and you’d like to request an Indigenous campus tour of UBC Vancouver, send us an email .

Keep exploring

If you are unable to attend one of our in-person or live virtual campus tours or you want to learn more about UBC at your own pace, you can also experience our two campuses by taking a self-guided virtual tour .

We hope you’ll join us!

Immigration and Health Insurance updates and FAQs

Last updated May 2, 2024 at 3:27 pm PT

What is considered "on-campus" work?

On-campus work is employment within the boundaries of the campus or in some cases, facilities owned, operated, or affiliated with UBC located off-campus. This includes UBC’s Robson Square campus. This does not include the UBC Learning Exchange.

Your employer can be:

The University of British Columbia
A UBC student organization
A UBC faculty member
A private business or a private contractor that provides on-campus service which operate within the boundaries of the campus, such as a business in the University Village or Wesbrook Village
Yourself, if you are self-employed and run a business that is physically located on-campus, such as you own a coffee shop located on-campus

On-campus work can also include university-related work at facilities which may be located off-campus but have a formal association or affiliation with UBC, such as teaching hospitals, clinics, and research institutes. According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), you must be working as a teaching or research assistant and your work must be related to a research grant.

You can only work at the campus where you are studying full-time or at the campus within the same municipality. For example, if you are enrolled full-time at the UBC Vancouver campus, you can work at the UBC Robson square campus. However, working at the UBC Okanagan campus is considered on-campus work only for students studying full-time at that campus.

Make sure you're eligible to work on campus

You can work on campus starting on the first day of the term you begin studies at UBC if you meet all of the following requirements:

You have a valid study permit or you have applied to extend your study permit and have maintained status .
You are enrolled full-time for immigration purposes during academic terms or are eligible to work during a scheduled break .
Your study permit includes conditions allowing you to work on campus such as, “May accept employment on or off campus if meeting eligibility criteria, per paragraph R186(f), (v), or (w) and must cease working if no longer meeting these criteria”.
You have a valid Social Insurance Number , or you had a SIN and are on maintained status .

You may also want to consider the following:

If you plan to work in jobs that require a medical exam , such as working with children or in health care settings, you must have taken a medical exam and have the right conditions on your study permit before starting your position.
If work is required for your program, you must have applied for a co-op work permit and received it before starting your position, be eligible to work while you are waiting, or be eligible for the temporary exemption from the co-op work permit. Review the co-op work permit page for details.
If you are doing volunteer or unpaid work , this might still be considered work in Canada and you must be eligible to work on-campus.
If you are enrolled in a UBC graduate program or the Diploma in Accounting, you must be enrolled full-time in the summer session to be eligible to work on or off campus.
You aren’t allowed to work in jobs at risk of exploitation .

Learn how your enrollment impacts immigration , including work eligibility.

Non-degree seeking students, such as Visiting International Research Students (VIRS), visiting students, and unclassified students are eligible to work on campus if meeting the above requirements, but cannot work off-campus. Furthermore, you are not eligible to work during scheduled breaks .

Taking courses during a scheduled break, such as undergraduate students taking summer session courses, does not impact your ability to work if you are a full time student in the term before the summer and will be enrolled full time in the term after the summer.

How many hours can I work on campus per week?

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) does not limit the number of hours you can work on campus. Some UBC employers may restrict the hours students can work.

You can work unlimited hours on campus during regular academic terms .

You can work unlimited hours on campus during your program’s scheduled breaks if you’re enrolled full-time in the academic terms immediately before and after your scheduled break. For example, if you are enrolled full-time in Winter Term 1 and will enroll full-time in the following Winter Term 2, you can work unlimited hours on campus during the winter break. If you are not full-time in the terms before or after your scheduled break, you cannot work during the scheduled break.

You are permitted to work full-time on or off campus during a scheduled break for a total of 180 days per calendar year, but not more than 150 consecutive days.

You cannot work full-time on campus during a scheduled break for more than 150 consecutive days, and cannot exceed a total of 180 days per calendar year.

See definitions for immigration purposes for details. The summary of requirements is below.

Undergraduate, certificate, and diploma students

Your regular academic terms are:

Winter Term 1 (September to December)
Winter Term 2 (January to April)

You have scheduled breaks during the summer session (May to August), breaks between terms, and during Reading Week. Taking courses during the summer scheduled break does not impact your ability to work.

If you are not enrolled full-time in the terms before or after the summer scheduled break, you cannot work at all during the summer. Exceptions are if you enroll full-time in the summer session, or the summer session is your final academic term, in which case you can work on campus.

Graduate and Diploma in Accounting Program students

Summer session (May to August)

You are considered to have an ongoing, full-time relationship with the university throughout the year. The summer session is not a scheduled break and you cannot work on campus if you are not enrolled full-time.

You have scheduled breaks during breaks between terms and during midterm breaks.

Exchange, VIRS, visiting, and unclassified students

You cannot work during scheduled breaks, and can only work during academic terms if you are enrolled full-time.

When can I start working?

You cannot start working until you’ve begun full-time studies at UBC—starting from the first day of the term in which you are enrolled, according to the Academic Calendar —and meet the above requirements.

When must I stop working?

You must stop working immediately if you no longer meet the above requirements. For example, do not continue working if your study permit expires and you did not apply to extend it.

If you are no longer enrolled full-time and take time away from your studies, you are not allowed to work and cannot work during the scheduled breaks before or after your break. Learn about taking time away from studies .

If you are an undergraduate or DAP student and withdraw from courses to a part-time course load, you must stop working right away, and cannot work during the scheduled breaks before or after you are enrolled part-time. Learn how your enrollment impacts immigration .

If you are in your final term

Degree-seeking students.

If you are an undergraduate, certificate, diploma, or DAP student and have fewer than 9 credits in your final term to finish your program requirements, you are considered full-time and can work.

If you are in your final term, regardless of when the final term occurs, you may continue to work on campus until your Letter of Completion becomes available.

After you have finished your last program requirement, be sure to check every day if your Letter of Completion has become available. Starting from the day after your Letter of Completion becomes available, you must stop working until you meet additional requirements to resume working, such as one of the following:

You apply for the Post-Graduation Work Permit and meet the requirements to work after submitting your application .
You have received a letter of acceptance for another program and meet the requirements to work up to 150 days between programs .

Contact International Student Advising to discuss your options if you have not received your letter of acceptance for your next program yet, or if you have more than 150 days between programs.

Non degree-seeking students

If you are not a degree-seeking student, such as an exchange, VIRS, or unclassified student, you must stop working on the last day of the posted final exam period when your last enrolled term ends, according to the Academic Calendar .

Benefits of working on campus

By working on campus, you can:

Expand your social and professional networks
Be more involved in the campus community
Enhance your learning through work experiences in an academic setting

A portion of international undergraduate tuition fees helps fund on-campus Work Learn opportunities for eligible international students.

If you plan to work off-campus

If you are also eligible to work off-campus, you can work off-campus at the same time as working on-campus.

If you plan to work on-campus during your co-op or internship

You must have a co-op work permit if work is required for your program, even if you are eligible to work on-campus. You might be eligible to work after you applied for the co-op work permit while you are waiting, or be eligible for the temporary exemption from the co-op work permit. Review the co-op work permit page for details.

If you have a co-op work permit and you’re enrolled in a co-op, internship, or practicum course, you can also work on-campus at the same time, if eligible. Your co-op work permit can only be used for program-required work.
