It is important to stay connected throughout your MBAN journey as some communications will be time-sensitive.

Below are our key communication tools, some information on how they will be used and next steps you need to take to stay updated:

Canvas

You are on Canvas right now! It will be a crucial to your learning experience, so be sure to bookmark http://www.canvas.ubc.ca for future use. Better yet, make it one of your browser’s homepages.

  • The MBAN Class of 2021 Program Site is where we will be posting important updates and reminders as the program progresses. It also contains general (not course-specific) information about your program. The RHL Office and the Business Career Centre will keep this site updated throughout the year.
  • Canvas sites for individual courses will appear on your Canvas “Dashboard” closer to the start date of each respective course. Readings and assignments will be managed through these individual course sites. *NOTE: not all instructors create Canvas sites for their courses. If you have any questions, contact the instructor directly. 
Announcements

The 2021 MBAN Announcements is your primary source of program-related updates throughout the year. You can access them through the left-hand side menu under the heading “Announcements”. Think of it as your news feed  for the program. Please check the announcements frequently to stay up to date about schedule changes, career opportunities, and other helpful information.

Student Service Centre (SSC)

This is where you can view course registration, final grades and manage program tuition/fees. The SSC also contains your contact information. Please ensure your address, telephone & e-mail information is always up to date.

Email

The RHL Office, instructors and other UBC offices will sometimes use email to communicate individual or urgent messages. Please be sure that you provide an email address that you check frequently on the SSC. 

If you have questions regarding your program, email is the most effective way of reaching us. You can use the general MBAN Student Experience team email address: askmban@sauder.ubc.ca or contact us individually (see “Key Program Staff” section on this page).
