inancial support for UBC students affected by floods

Standard

If UBC Vancouver students are affected by B.C.’s recent flooding and need urgent financial support – if they are stranded or have lost personal goods, for instance – Student Services has provided an update on who students can contact. They can get in touch with their Enrolment Services Advisor to ask about emergency relief funds. This applies to undergraduate students, graduate and postgraduate students. This link provides further information:

Please share this with students and we’ll post this on LFS social media.

Ronaldo – including you in case students living in Agassiz have been impacted.

Thanks,

Karen
