Thank you for your attention.

Dear students,

Please note that the UBC Bookstore online ordering system will not be updated for January modules until December 15th. This is a new system for the UBC Bookstore, and they weren’t able to have it updated earlier than this for 2012 modules.

If you would like to check if your books/course packages are in stock or make an order earlier than this in order to have them delivered to Robson Square prior to the holidays you can either do so over the phone or in person at the Pt Grey UBC Bookstore.

Phone orders and enquiries can be directed to the Textbook Desk: 604 822 4743.

Please check the outlines/syllabi for any modules you are taking to confirm which textbooks/packages you may need.

For those taking BAFI 511 301 Investments, please note that we are still waiting on the outline from Lorenzo Garlappi, but he has indicated it will be the same as the outline for the FT class.

Dear students,

We have been informed by our Facilities & Operations team that 24/7 access to the Henry Angus building is now available, with some restrictions. Please make note of the conditions below.

• Access to the building between 11pm-7am is by key card entry through the doors by the bookstore only.
• Access to the Robert H. Lee (RHL) Graduate space is via key card access from CA Hall into the corridor (CA Hall is the main hall area where the café is located).
• Sauder cannot provide 24 hour security for all floors, so 24/7 access is contained to the main floor and basement only  – students are not permitted on the 2^nd, 3^rd, or 4^th floors, which means that your student lounges are not available 24/7
• Graduate students are asked to contain themselves to the RHL Graduate Centre and CA Hall.
• Students are asked to ensure they have their student key card with them if they are in the building between 11pm-7am.

Please note that building security is a serious matter and if students are found in the off limit areas after hours, security may confiscate their student cards. Please take a leadership role in helping to keep our building safe and ensure that you have vacated your lounge areas by 11pm.
