Students who have not taken Chemistry 12 must take CHEM 111. Please register in any CHEM 111 section and LFS 100 sec 002, a web-oriented section of LFS 100. We are aware of this timetable conflict and are working to resolve this issue for future scheduling.
Students who have credit for Chemistry 12 must take CHEM 121, which does not conflict with LFS 100. Please register in any CHEM 121 section and LFS 100 sec 001.

To LFS students in food science,
IUFoST is running a video contest for students in conjunction with the 2016 IUFoST World Congress in Dublin. We are hoping to get many entries for this exciting competition, as it will showcase how food science and tech are benefiting communities around the world, from the unique perspective of a student-generated video. We have great prizes, but more importantly, this a plum opportunity for a budding food science student to impress attendees of the Congress with an exclusive premiere of their winning entry.
(Details and rules can be found here: http://iufost.org/iufost-student-video-competition )
*And to sweeten the deal; the Grand Prize (in addition to an exclusive showing and announcement at the IUFoST2016 Congress) is a cool $USD one thousand dollars!*; Not bad for a 5 minute video!
Any student over 18 is eligible to enter. We are excited to see the first entries come in, and hope to get participation from students around the world.
If you have any questions about the contest, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Warm Regards,
Susanna Rosebush

All undergraduate students in a degree program have a dedicated ESP to help with things like paying tuition and making a budget to requesting a transcript and changing programs.
Find your Enrolment Service Professional (ESP)’s contact information on the Student Service Centre (SSC) under Personal Info > UBC Contacts. Your ESP can help you in person, or by phone or email.
Students are not required to pay the $100 registration deposit if they have a balance/over-payment on their financial account, i.e. you won’t ask for $100 if you already have an overpayment of $500.
You can view your Financial Summary on your Student Service Centre. If you have any questions about your tuition, please contact your ESP – unfortunately your academic advising office does not have access to this! Don’t know who your ESP is? Find out here!
