Citing:

Citing is necessary to give credit to others for their work and ideas as you are borrowing their information for your work. Also, citing high quality sources shows that you know what you’re talking about, making your work and conclusions more credible.

Study Spaces & Student Lounges

Graduate Breakout Rooms

The Robert H. Lee Graduate School at the Sauder School of Business provides breakout rooms accessible by your UBCcard 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.

All students should be mindful of the fact that there are over 400 students eligible to use these breakout rooms. Breakout room policies are in place to ensure that all students have equal opportunity to use these shared spaces and these policies must be read in detail prior to booking.

Other quiet study areas can be found in the Canaccord Learning Commons, which can also be booked online.

Additional Study Spaces
There are some great study spots across the UBC campus if you’d like a change in environment.

Student Lounges
The student lounge has refrigerators, sinks, microwaves, TV, as well as quiet study areas for your use. You can access the lounge by using your UBCcard.

Lounge Locations:
FT MBA - Henry Angus 439 (4th floor of UBC Sauder Building)
MBAN & MM - Henry Angus 341 (3rd floor of UBC Sauder Building)

Please note that your card will only grant you access into your designated lounge.

UBC Wireless Network & VPN

Wireless Network
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.  For set-up instructions, please refer to the following two web sites:

Troubleshooting
In the event that you are unable to connect to the UBC Wireless Network or have an unstable connection, please contact UBC IT for support.

UBC VPN
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.

UBC Enterprise Active Directory (EAD) Account

We ask that all students activate their UBC Enterprise Active Directory (EAD) account immediately so they are able to access the computers in the lab as soon as the program begins. The computer labs are located in the basement of the UBC Sauder School of Business and may sometimes be used for courses or exams.

The EAD login ID is students’ CWL username with “.stu” added to the end (e.g, if your CWL is joesmith, your student EAD login ID would be joesmith.stu).

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any problems, please contact the Help Desk, located at Henry Angus 451 from 8am – 5pm, Monday through Friday.  You can also contact them at 604-822-0031 or at help@sauder.ubc.ca.

General Laptop Requirements

Personal Computers:
It is strongly recommended that all 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 the 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 above).

Printing & Photocopying

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.

Please note that the printer name is "SAUD-HA122A" for black & white printing. If you would like to print in colour, please use the printer in the David Lam Library.

UBC Sauder Brand, Logo & Trademark Usage Guidelines

1. Use of UBC Marks by Third Parties in General:

The University of British Columbia’s trademarks and official marks (“UBC Marks”), including the UBC Sauder logo(s) and mark(s) (“UBC Sauder Logos/Marks”), are registered and/or protected marks of UBC and may not be used by third parties without the express prior written permission of UBC.

Office of the University Counsel is responsible for issuing such written permissions/licenses to third parties in accordance with UBC’s Trade-Mark Policy (UP6). Only UBC academic and administrative units can use UBC Marks in connection with UBC activities without a license in accordance with UBC’s Brand Identity Policy (GA7). Accordingly, students wishing to use UBC Marks, including UBC Sauder Logos/Marks, must receive written permission from UBC.

These Guidelines outline the process by which UBC Sauder Students (defined in Section 2) can request permission to use UBC Marks, including UBC Sauder Logos/Marks (see Section 4) and include examples of circumstances where it may be appropriate for UBC to issue such permission (see Section 2).

A complete list of all of UBC’s official and registered Marks and a Frequently Asked Questions document about the appropriate use of UBC Marks by third parties is available here.

2. Permitted Uses of UBC Sauder Logos Marks.

Specifically by UBC Sauder Students or Robert H. Lee
Graduate School Students (collectively referred to herein as “UBC Sauder Students”)

As UBC Sauder Students (meaning a person who is presently enrolled at the UBC Sauder School of Business or Robert H. Lee Graduate School in a credit course or who is designated by resolution of the UBC Senate as a student), it may be appropriate for UBC to grant a license in the following circumstances to use either a UBC Mark or specifically a UBC Sauder Logo/Mark where there is an
appropriate connection to UBC, such as:

UBC Sauder Sponsored Student Event:
In connection with a UBC Sauder Student-run activity or initiative where UBC, generally, or UBC Sauder has been involved in supporting or sponsoring such initiative or activity, for example:

A. UBC Sauder is a sponsor or an official partner of such student initiative or activity and has provided either funding or support; or
B. a specific UBC Sauder faculty member(s) has agreed to oversee and/or take responsibility for the actions of the UBC Sauder Student run activity or initiative.

Examples of the primary UBC Sauder Logos/Marks are:

3. Examples of materials Prepared by the UBC Sauder Marketing & Communications Department for use by UBC Sauder Students which do not require a license from UBC:

a. Business cards:
I. It is not permissible for UBC Sauder Students to use UBC Marks, including UBC Sauder Logos/Marks, on their business cards unless such business card was officially issued by UBC for the purpose of indicating the UBC Sauder Student’s employment capacity at UBC, and even in such circumstances the UBC Sauder Student should not use the officially issued UBC business cards for uses where they are not acting in their official UBC administrative or academic capacity (“Non-UBC Related Activities”).

II. UBC Sauder Marketing & Communications has created professional business card templates for use by UBC Sauder Students acting in “Non-UBC Related Activities” to indicate their status as UBC Sauder Students, such as the following examples below. Should UBC Sauder Students wish to obtain business cards using these templates, contact the UBC Sauder Marketing & Communications Department (marcom@sauder. ubc.ca):

RHL Business cards:

UGO Business cards:

b. Presentation to Internal/External Audiences:
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:

I. 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

II. 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.

PowerPoint presentation templates can be sourced by the Business Units on The HUB, in the marketing section of the site.

4. Guidelines

These Guidelines outline how to make a request to incorporate a UBC Sauder Logo/Mark or any other UBC Marks into UBC Sauder Student materials where appropriate for the purposes described in Section 2 above.

a) Approvals:
I. UBC Sauder Logos/Marks:
Any materials (including promotional goods) using a UBC Sauder Logo/Mark must first be approved* by the UBC Sauder Marketing & Communications Department for adherence to the UBC Sauder Brand Rules. If you wish to use a UBC Sauder Logo/Mark, please forward your material for review and approval to the UBC Sauder Marketing & Communications Department prior to publication/production. Please review the Brand Rules prior to ensure materials are aligned.

If the material meets the branding specifications in the UBC Sauder Brand Rules (See: “UBC Sauder Logos/Marks Usage Requirements” below for further information), then the UBC Sauder Marketing & Communications Department will review and may request necessary changes. You can e-mail or deliver proofs of your materials to the UBC Sauder Marketing & Communication Department at marcom@sauder.ubc.ca. Please include a sample of the materials, the audience, how this will be distributed, timing and allow up to three (3) full business days for review. Once the UBC Sauder Marketing & Communication Department has reviewed the request and it meets the branding specifications of UBC Sauder, it will forward this request to the Office of the University Counsel who will make the final determination regarding use of the UBC Sauder Logo/Mark in accordance with the Trade-Mark Policy and issue permission/license where appropriate.

*PLEASE NOTE: The UBC Sauder Marketing & Communications Department reviews only the UBC Sauder Logo/Mark usage, (i.e. its size, placement, color accuracy, etc.) and consults on the brand tone but does not review, approve, or provide resources to assist with the creative concept, layout, content or proofreading of such UBC Sauder Student communications.

II. Other UBC Marks:
If you wish to use any other UBC Marks, please contact the Office of the University Counsel directly for permission prior to use or publication at the following contact details:
Office of the University Counsel
6328 Memorial Road
Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z2
Canada
Tel: (604) 822-1897
Fax: (604) 822-8731
Email: university.counsel@ubc.ca

b) UBC Sauder Logos/Marks Usage Requirements
Permission to use a UBC Sauder Logo/Mark is contingent upon adhering to the following
requirements:

I. UBC Sauder Students must follow the UBC Sauder Brand Rules and requirements for colour specifications, protective space, minimum size, and reproduction over colored backgrounds. Please take the time to review these detailed specifications and ensure they are applied accordingly prior to submitting the materials for review and approval to the UBC Sauder Marketing & Communications Department.

II. For marketing and communication materials produced by graduate students, the Robert H. Lee Graduate School secondary wordmark must be used in addition to the UBC Sauder Logo/Mark as well as the logo of the student society, club or organization publishing the material. Graduate students should ensure they review the specifications in the UBC Sauder Brand Rules around the joint usage of UBC Sauder and Robert H. Lee Graduate School identities thoroughly and ensure the specifications are followed, such as relative sizing and minimum distance.

III. The UBC Sauder Logo/Mark should not be altered in any way (see “Incorrect Use” in the UBC Sauder Brand Guidelines). For example, individual elements of the UBC Sauder Logos/Marks, such as the door or the wordmark, must not be separated and used in isolation from each other and must not be combined with other graphic elements. Any use of the door as a stand-alone element, must first be approved by Marketing &Communications.

IV. UBC Sauder Communications & Marketing Department will provide you with a brand compliant digital file of the UBC Sauder Logo/Mark to be used for the purpose for which permission is granted.

V. In addition, you must adhere to any other requirements as communicated by UBC Sauder or the Office of the University Counsel to you, including requirements as to placement of the UBC Sauder Logo/Mark on the materials. For example: the placement of the UBC Sauder Logo/Mark should make it clear why it is being displayed (e.g., if UBC Sauder is one of many sponsors, the UBC Sauder logo should only appear on the page that indicates all the sponsors and relative sizing and minimum distance rules must be met).

c) Non-UBC Related Activities Best Practices:
UBC Marks, including UBC Sauder Logos/Marks, should not be used in circumstances where a UBC Sauder Student is producing materials for conducting a Non-UBC Related Activity. The materials should feature the logo of the student society, club or organization publishing the material. Where the Non-UBC Related Activity is being operated entirely by UBC Sauder Students, it would be permissible for the materials to indicate as a factual statement that the group operating the Non-UBC Related Activity is comprised of UBC students (e.g., “AZY Consultant Group, a group operated by students of UBC) and/or include a statement that makes clear that this is a student run initiative/activity/club not endorsed or authorized by UBC or UBC Sauder.

To obtain brand compliant digital files of the UBC Sauder Logos/ Marks files, a copy of the Brand Rules, ask questions or provide comments, please contact:
