• Preference is given to students supervised by faculty members who are affiliated with the Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries; the Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability; or the School of Public Policy and Global Affairs.

Good morning!

As 2019 Summer Session registration is open, please take a few minutes to register for your thesis course (research-based students) or graduate project (professional programs).

Importance of registering

Student status at UBC is created by registering in at least one 3-credit course. The benefits and access points at UBC that are triggered upon registration include:

• Obtaining a UBCcard
• Access to the U-Pass (available to link to in mid-August for use starting Sept 1)
• Assigning scholarships and awards
• Signing up for a student email address (alumni.ubc.ca)
• Access to buildings (for example, authorized access to departments)
• On-campus housing (Student Housing and Hospitality Services might seek clarification from any student who is eligible, but not registered, about their status before move in date).
• International Students must be registered, unless on an official Leave of Absence, to comply with IRCC (Study Permit/Visa) regulations. Students who are not able to register, for whatever reason, should contact an international student advisor, isa@students.ubc.ca, to ensure they are not compromising their status in Canada by not being registered.

Given registration is a pre-requisite to, essentially, be a UBC student, please register before the start of term.

Please don’t hesitate to ask me if you have any questions about registering.
