The Robert H. Lee Graduate School at the UBC Sauder School of Business provides breakout rooms for graduate students to use for group study. These rooms are located in the hallways near the Robert H. Lee Graduate School Office and can be booked online by students for no more than 4 hours at a time.
All students should be aware that there are over 300 students eligible to use the Graduate Breakout Rooms (24/7 access).
In order to ensure students have equal opportunity to use these rooms, some of the Breakout Rooms usage policies include:

• Booking must be done via the Breakout Room booking portal.
• Students who fail to arrive for a room booking within 15 mins of the booked start time will have their booking canceled.
• Rooms can only be booked for groups of two (2) or more. Please refer to Additional Study Space for individual and additional group study space.
• Each booking (for a group) must not exceed 4 hours.
• Bookings must be made by a member of the group who intends to use the room; students cannot book rooms for other students.
• Upon leaving the room, ensure the door is locked as you leave. If you encounter an issue with the door lock, please see the Robert H. Lee Graduate School Reception, or security desk during off-hours.
• Robson Square meeting rooms 671 and 673 are also available to be booked online through the Breakout Room booking portal. Available times are: Mon-Fri 5-9pm, Sat & Sun 8am-5pm. There are other spaces available to book at Robson Square but they are subject to fees, and you will be charged if you book them.
• We ask that students are vigilant about cancelling booking that will not be used, as this eases the stress for the demand of these rooms.

• Canaccord Learning Commons

Booking can be done via the Sauder website.

Additional study space can also be booked via the library website for the following locations:

There are two small computer labs in the basement of the UBC Sauder School of Business. All of the facilities are shared between the Graduate and Undergraduate students (approximately 3,500 students) so access at any time is limited and can be very problematic during the end of term.
Activating your Sauder Computer Lab Account:
In order to access the computer lab, students are required to set up an UBC Enterprise Active Directory (EAD) account. The EAD login ID is the your CWL username with “.stu” appended to it (e.g, if your CWL is joesmith, your student EAD login ID would be joesmith.stu). Please note that you will have to change your CWL password in order to activate your EAD account. For instructions on activating your EAD account, please visit the Learning and Technology Services (LTS) website.
Troubleshooting:
If you encounter any problems, please contact the Help Desk, located at HA 451 from 8am – 5pm, Monday thru Friday. You can also contact them at (604) 822-0031 or at help@sauder.ubc.ca.

The MBA Lounge is located in Henry Angus 439 and can only be accessed with swiping your activated Student Card. The lounge is equipped with lounge furniture, fridges, and microwaves. It is each student's responsibility to keep this clean and tidy for everyone in the program to use.

The RHL wing of the Henry Angus building is frequently used by a large number of staff, faculty, and students. With a high volume of traffic coming through this area, personal belongings may get misplaced. The Student Experience Team Program Assistants coordinate a scheduled walk-through of the Robert H. Lee Graduate School (ie. our breakout rooms, classrooms and general shared spaces in the wing) every morning to check for any items that have been left behind from the previous day.
As of February 2018, the Lost and Found is currently operating out of the Parking and Access desk inside the UBC Bookstore. The protocol according to the Assistant Operations Manager of Campus Security is that all lost and found items should go to the Parking and Access Desk.
Hence, our new Lost and Found Policy is that:

• Any personal items (e.g. a Student Card or wallet) found in the wing should still be left at the Sauder Security Desk (for identity and/or security reasons)
• All non-personal items (e.g. a laptop charger or umbrella) found should be collected in the blue-labelled "RHL Lost & Found" box in our office storage room throughout the week. On Friday afternoons, our RHL Receptionist & Office Coordinator will take the box of items over to the Parking and Access Desk at the UBC Bookstore.

Students who use the RHL wing should be informed of this policy:

• Personal items may be inquired about at the Sauder Security Desk
• Lost items may be inquired about at the RHL Reception desk until the Friday afternoon of the week that it was lost
• After Friday, students can inquire about lost items are the Parking and Access Desk at the UBC Bookstore

Our students are an integral part of our brand; they actively and proudly represent and promote the UBC Sauder brand through their daily interactions within the school, across campus and outside of UBC. UBC Sauder strategically invests in the development of this brand, including our logos and marks, and has an obligation to manage the usage of these.
For details on use of UBC Sauder Logo/Marks for project presentations by UBC Sauder Students, please see the Student Presentation Templates section directly below.
UBC Sauder students represent the School’s brand while interacting with the business community and engaging with students from other business schools in academic competitions, sporting events, and joint initiatives. When doing so, students may request to use UBC Sauder’s logos and marks on clothing, equipment, etc. In all such cases, students are required to gain full approval from UBC Sauder before using our logos and marks in any manner.
Gaining Permission to Use UBC Sauder’s Logo and Mark:
The following steps outline how students can seek approval to use UBC Sauder’s Logo and Marks.

1. Contact your Program Manager/Advisor to advise how you wish to use UBC Sauder’s Logo and Marks at least four weeks prior to producing any materials.
2. The Program Manager/Advisor will connect you with UBC Sauder’s Marketing & Communications department. A representative from this team will determine if approvals can be granted, and give direction on meeting the visual identity guidelines.

UBC Brand, Logo & Trademarks:
For more information on the University’s logo and trademark usage, please see UBC Policy 110 Third-Party Use of University Trade-Marks (http://universitycounsel.ubc.ca/files/2010/08/policy110.pdf).

UBC Sauder Logo/Marks may only be used on a project presentation by UBC Sauder Students using the template provided by the UBC Sauder Marketing & Communications Department (featured below), if the following conditions are met

1. The UBC Sauder Student has undertaken the project as part of the academic requirements of their program at UBC Sauder under the direct supervision of a UBC Sauder faculty member; and
2. The UBC Sauder Student has met all other requirements associated with the project (including such matters as securing ethics approvals).

As a condition of this permission, the UBC Sauder Student must ensure that it is clear to the audience that the project is being undertaken by a UBC Sauder Student for a specific UBC Sauder course, and that the conduct of the project is being supervised by a UBC Sauder faculty member, by providing the name and email of the UBC Sauder faculty member. This can be done in smaller print at the bottom of the page but must be reasonably legible.
If you are completing a project presentation that meets the conditions, please use the templates below.

You will find information about Business Cards on the myMBA Career website.

Personal Computers:
It is strongly recommended that all MBA students purchase and bring their own computer to the program. Students are advised to purchase a laptop over a desktop computer for ease of use on-campus. The principle reason for purchasing your own computer is accessibility, as your MBA program will require you to produce many papers, projects, and presentations, and there is a lot of group work. If you are considering a tablet or hybrid tablet please make sure it will be easy to use with Excel, Powerpoint and Word.
Borrowing Laptops:
If you are in a pinch, laptops are available to borrow for up to 4 hours on a first-come first served basis from the Service Desk at the entrance to the Canaccord Learning Commons. Laptops are also available from other UBC libraries.
Computer Labs:
There are two computer labs in the basement of the UBC Sauder School of Business. All of the facilities are shared between Graduate and Undergraduate students (approximately 3,500 students) so access at any time is limited and can be problematic during peak periods, such as the end of term. In order to use the computer labs, you must have an "EAD Account" (see "UBC Enterprise Active Directory (EAD) Account" section below).

There are two computer labs in the basement of the UBC Sauder School of Business that are used for some MBA courses.
All students should activate their UBC Enterprise Active Directory (EAD) account immediately so they are able to easily access the computers in the lab as soon as the program starts in September.
The EAD login ID is your CWL username with “.stu” added to the end (e.g, if your CWL is joesmith, your student EAD login ID would be joesmith.stu). Please note that you will have to change your CWL password in order to activate your EAD account.
Troubleshooting:
If you encounter any problems, please contact the Help Desk, located at HA 451 from 8am – 5pm, Monday through Friday. You can also contact them at 604-822-0031 or at help@sauder.ubc.ca.

The UBC Wireless Network allows students, faculty and staff to seamlessly check their e-mail, surf the web and access the UBC network at high-speeds from almost anywhere on campus without plugging in cables. Please refer to Setup Secure Wireless Access (ubcsecure) on how to connect to the UBC Wireless Network.

A VPN is sometimes needed to access library databases and other UBC resources. You may need these resources to study and complete projects throughout the program. Once your CWL ID is set up, you can install the UBC VPN using the instructions here.

The UBC Student Services Centre is where you go to register for courses, pay tuition and fees, print enrollment verification letters, accept awards issued to your account, see your grades, apply for graduation, and more. Once you login to the site using your CWL, you can find information on navigating the SSC on the bottom left of the page under 'Need Help?'.
Timetable: You can view your class timetable on the Student Service Centre: click on Course Schedule > Registration > Timetable. When you click on the Timetable link you will see your timetable, and also a button that allows you to download your class timetable as an iCal file that can then be imported into most calendaring software:

We strongly recommend that you download your timetable into your personal online calendar, in order to help you with your daily time organization.

This is where your Program Site is housed, and also your individual course sites. Your instructors will post information regarding the course schedule, readings, and assignments on their course site located on Canvas. To become familiar with using this resource, please take a look at this instructional material: A UBC Student's Guide to Canvas. You will see all courses you are registered into listed on the Dashboard after you login with your CWL. Clicking on a course name will allow you to enter the course website. Instructors may post the course outline, assignments, announcements, and grades. Your official grades for each course will be posted in SSC under the Grades tab.
There is also a Canvas app available for download on your smartphone. You can download the Canvas Student app for Android smartphones on the Google Play Store here and for iPhones on the App Store here.
Notification Settings in Canvas
In Canvas, students get to decide how often they receive notifications about all sorts of things in their classes. You have the choice of being notified immediately, daily, weekly, or not at all when something is updated in your classes. You can click on the icons on the right hand side to set your notification preferences—the green icon is your selected setting. There’s no need to ‘save’ anything, as Canvas automatically updates your preferences.
Due to the fast paced of the UBC MBA program, we strongly recommend that you choose to receive a daily notification to your e-mail address. If you choose to be notified weekly instead, you may miss out on important opportunities with a tight turnaround time. You are responsible for your own academic journey and ensuring that you meet deadlines.
UBC has contracted for 24/7/365 telephone, email, and chat support for one year, which is accessible from within Canvas in the Help menu. Students can also contact the IT Service Centre for assistance, using their online form.

Faxing services are available at Copiesmart in the UBC Village.
The printer designated for students of the Robert H. Lee Graduate School is located outside Breakout Room 122A. For specific instructions on how to use the printer and the workstation, please click here. If you would like to load money onto your account in order to print, please click here.
