Transcripts Ordering Transcripts A regular course load at UBC is 30 credits per academic year or 15 credits per semester. Each course in a semester is a 3-credit course (i.e. 3 hours of lectures per week for 13 weeks, with an additional 2-week examination period). The average UBC student takes 15 credits (5 courses) each term. Exchange students typically take between 9 and 15 credits depending on their degree requirements at their home university. Students must maintain a registration of a minimum of 9 credits unless they are on an approved research exchange. Yes, Applied Science students may take more than 30 credits per year as a regular course load. We will automatically send the official transcripts to the exchange office of the partner institution approximately four weeks after the end of term. Students can order extra transcripts online at www.students.ubc.ca/current/transcripts.cfm Accommodation On Campus Housing Housing is available and guaranteed if students apply by the deadlines above and pay $50 for housing application. Once housing has been assigned, UBC Housing will contact the student via email for full payment. Applying for Housing Housing applications can be done online. The online exchange application must be completed prior to completing the housing application. www.housing.ubc.ca/ Breaks Assistance in finding private housing Accommodation is available during semester breaks between Term 1 and Term 2, except for students living in Totem Park and Place Vanier. These two residences close for the holidays due to safety concerns that very few residents are staying alone in large empty residence buildings. UBC Housing assists students affected by this closure to find alternative housing for this period of time. There are resources available at International House and through the UBC Housing website to help students find housing on their own: www.housing.ubc.ca/other-housing 5 Immigration Requirements Student Visa To find out if a student visa is required, please check with the nearest Canadian Embassy. Study Permit A study permit is required for all students who will be studying at UBC for more than 6 months. Are exchange students allowed to work? On campus: Yes, with a Study Permit valid for at least 6 months (10 – 12 hours per week) Off campus: No 6 Health and Medical Insurance Medical Insurance (Compulsory Plan) All new exchange students are required by UBC to be enrolled in a mandatory health insurance plan (iMED) for the first three months if they will study in UBC for a year, or for the entire time of studies if they study for one term only. Students pay for iMED online on the Student Service Centre. For more information about dates of iMED coverage and what are covered, please visit http://david-cummings.com/imed/ (Insurance company website) and http://www.students.ubc.ca/international/international-students/health-careand-health-insurance/imed-health-insurance-for-new-international-students/ Please be advised that, unless students have a mandatory medical health coverage purchased by a third party sponsor as a part of their scholarship and the sponsor is recognized by and has agreement with UBC, students cannot cancel or opt out iMED. Students staying less than 6 months (one term only): One term only students are automatically covered under iMED for the duration of their studies at UBC. The cost of iMED for one term students is $170 CDN. For specific coverage dates, please visit the websites mentioned above. Students staying for more than 6 months (full year): Full year students are automatically covered by iMED for the first three months before they can be enrolled in BC Medical Services Plan (MSP). The cost of iMED for one term students is $120 CDN. The iMED plan will ensure that students have adequate medical coverage from the time they leave home (up to ten days prior to arrival if within the coverage dates) and while they are waiting for BC MSP to be effective. Full year students must apply for BC’s provincial Medical Services Plan (MSP) as soon as they arrive in BC, Canada. There is a three-month waiting period before students can be enrolled in MSP. This is the basic medical insurance provided by BC government for anyone who will reside in BC for more than six months. The coverage is quite comprehensive and it covers the cost of most services provided by physicians and supplementary health care practitioners, laboratory services and diagnostic procedures. The fee is $57 CDN per month. As a basic insurance plan, however, MSP does not cover dental care, vision care, and travel and prescription medicines. Application forms are available at International House. 7 Expenses Estimated expenses per semester/term CDN $6,000 – 7,000/term University administered accommodation With meal plans: average cost of room and board $6500/year Without meal plans: ranging from $5000/year Please check for details at www.housing.ubc.ca Private accommodation Currently $500-700 for shared housing, $800+ for private Food/Meals $1,500 /term Local transportation $95/term for student bus pass (mandatory) Academic expenses $700/term Personal expenses $1500/term Insurance See insurance section about for costs. 8 THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA CANADA VANCOUVER OKANAGAN undergraduate viewbook 2013 Wherever you go, YOU WILL HAVE BEEN HERE. 2 — THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA you.ubc.ca — undergraduate viewbook 2013 table of contents Where will you go from here?

Both UBC campuses are part of thriving communities that stimulate the mind unlike anyplace else. Vancouver is a cosmopolitan city renowned for its vibrant culture in a setting of coastal beauty. The Okanagan Valley is a sunny region of lakes and mountains — a scenic backdrop for year-round outdoor recreation. But the campuses are just starting points, thanks to the local opportunities and international connections that UBC provides. 5 6 — THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA It’s all yours.

UBC student portraits by student photographer, Rabi Sun. you.ubc.ca — 7 8 — THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA you.ubc.ca — From here to the rest of the world. Education is about more than just textbooks, labs, and lectures. Here, students work directly with professors and researchers on real-world challenges — and many innovative solutions come from students themselves. Undergraduate Research It isn’t just about opportunities to listen and learn. It’s about becoming part of the conversation. As an undergraduate student at UBC, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to practical, hands-on research and develop innovative solutions to many of the issues we face today. And no matter what your field of study, opportunities like the annual Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research Conference will give you a forum to present your research findings, analysis, or case study to the broader academic community. AT UBC Triumf How do stars explode? How did stellar explosions form the chemical elements? Which isotopes will be best suited for the next generation of medical therapies? These are some of the questions that students and researchers at TRIUMF, Canada’s National Laboratory for Particle and Nuclear Physics on UBC’s Vancouver campus, hope to answer. The cyclotron at TRIUMF, the largest in the world, accelerates 1,000 trillion particles to speeds of 224,000 km/s. (At this speed, you could travel from the Earth to the Moon in two seconds.) This makes TRIUMF’s proton beam one of the most intense in the world. As a leading research university, UBC is where you’ll put your education into action and help develop exciting ideas that have the potential to change lives. From across Canada and around the globe, notable scientists, scholars, artists, writers, and students are drawn here. They bring with them diverse perspectives that will become part of your experience, just as yours will become a part of theirs. Students here learn not only from their professors — who are Interdisciplinary Learning At UBC, you are encouraged to bridge your studies across disciplines. For example, the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences encompasses two fields in one integrated learning environment. Arts One, Science One, Engineering One, and other interdisciplinary programs explore traditional subject matter through a rich variety of new perspectives. Beaty Biodiversity Museum When a blue whale, 26 m (85 feet) long, washed up on a beach in Atlantic Canada in 1987, scientists buried the carcass in sand to preserve it for future research and display. Twenty years later, UBC turned the accidental death of the whale into an opportunity to showcase the wonders of life. The skeleton was unearthed and transported by train 6,000 km (3,700 miles) across Canada to Vancouver. Over the next few years, the bones were meticulously degreased then reassembled. This magnificent skeleton of the largest animal ever to have lived is now on display in UBC’s Beaty Biodiversity Museum for the wonderment of all. leaders in their fields — but from each other. After graduation, you’ll be connected to a global alumni network of over 269,000 people in over 135 countries. Go Global, UBC-COMmunity learning initiative, and Co-operative Education Your education at UBC reaches far beyond the campus through local and global experiences. The UBC-Community Learning Initiative gives you the power to make a difference in the local community, while Go Global lets you meet degree requirements through international service learning (18 projects in 6 countries), student exchange (175 university partners in 42 countries), or taking courses with a UBC professor abroad in a group study program (12 countries). With UBC Co-operative Education, you can also combine your studies with paid work experience in your field. The CAPSL The Centre for Advancement of Psychological Science and Law (CAPSL) at UBC’s Okanagan campus is the site of world-class research on human behaviour in forensic contexts. Researchers at CAPSL focus on the intersection of psychology and law, including investigative psychology, police and jury decision processes, and victim response to violent crimes. Undergraduate researchers work alongside some of the brightest minds in forensic psychology and have access to some of the best equipment available to study human behaviour including devices to measure eye activity and polygraphs to track heart rates and skin responses. 9 THE BEST PLACE IN THE BEST PLACE.

It’s a great way to make new friends and have some fun before snowboarding season begins on local mountains Big White and Silver Star. Don’t miss Rail Jam! With hundreds of active clubs, groups, and departments at UBC’s Vancouver campus, you’d think it would be hard to keep track of all the great sports, entertainment, academic, and other events happening throughout the year. Not so! Students at UBC Events produce weekly videos (“This Week at UBC” on YouTube), a blog, and a Twitter feed that highlight upcoming events at UBC so you’ll never need to miss out. They also maintain an events calendar with listings from over 500 UBC eventproviders. Make sure you have an eventful experience at UBC: keep an eye on events.ubc.ca @UBCevents For many years, a special spruce tree with a mutation that caused its needles to be golden rather than green grew in Haida Gwaii on British Columbia’s Northwest Coast. The tree, held sacred by the Haida people, was cut down and was feared to be lost forever. A UBC botanist had taken cuttings from the tree, however, and grafted them onto another spruce tree, giving new life to the Golden Spruce in UBC’s Botanical Garden. become part of a supportive community. 12 — THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA you.ubc.ca — AMONG THE TOP 40 RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES IN THE WORLD.* 56,000 A DIVERSE STUDENT BODY student body and an extensive alumni network. 99 48,162 1908 39,500 16,500 Graduate Students Undergraduate Students 7,570 From 145 International Students 202 Countries Masters Programs 17,500 universitylevel research and teaching institutions worldwide. 212 Undergraduate Programs 269,000 Alumni In 135 Countries IMPRESSIVE GROWTH SINCE 1908 In just over 100 years, UBC has grown to rival some of the world’s most prestigious A GLOBAL UNIVERSITY UBC’s Go Global program sends students to partner 42 175 COUNTRIES PARTNERS 350+ International strategic collaboration agreements post-secondary institutions, with major achievements along the way. universities around the world for study exchange and learning opportunities. 5 Countries with joint undergrad study 3 14 18 Colleges Schools Faculties $550M Research funding 6 Countries with International Service Learning programs Canada’s largest teaching museum: Museum of Anthropology First Canadian university to achieve targets set by Kyoto Protocol $1 Billion endowment TRIUMF: Canada’s National Particle and Nuclear Phyiscs Lab UBC WITH DISTINCTION Fellows of Royal Society of Canada 180 *Sources: Academic Ranking of World Universities (Shanghai Ranking) Times Higher Education World University Rankings.

Construction of a new Point Grey campus had stalled during World War I and this left students in overcrowded lecture halls and inadequate laboratories. So, in October 1922, 12,000 students marched to the unfinished Point Grey campus in a pilgrimage that became known as The Great Trek. One week later, they presented a 56,000-name petition to the government to complete the construction. The government was convinced, and in September 1925, students attended classes on the new Point Grey campus. CIRS Sustainability defines UBC as a university. As a student, you will have many opportunities to explore new sustainability approaches on campus and to take those practices beyond UBC. The Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability (CIRS) is North America’s greenest building. It warms itself with heat wasted by a less efficient neighbour, creates drinking water from rain, and treats wastewater on-site. It is one of only a handful of buildings worldwide that provides net positive benefits to the environment. The Engineering, Management, and Education Building Water conservation, radiant in-floor heating, and rooftop ventilators that recover heat from the exhaust are just some of the energy-saving features incorporated in the design of the Engineering, Management, and Education Building on UBC’s Okanagan campus. The building, completed in June 2011, is expected to achieve LEED Platinum for energy-conservation initiatives that include a green roof that controls glare and captures rainwater for irrigation. The building also has kiosks where students, staff, and faculty can fill reusable bottles with filtered water. 14 — THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA you.ubc.ca — Same UBC Degree.

The student body is so diverse that it makes anyone feel welcome because every corner of the world is represented here.” “I am a student because I wanted to find my passion and learn about myself. Now that I’ve found it, I feel that it is my responsibility to help other people.” “My time volunteering at hospitals helped me realize that I can combine my passions into a lifelong career helping people.” “I’m super excited to think about what the future holds and I can’t wait to get there.” “I’ve learned that I have the ability to make change.” — Rayel Quiring As all competitive swimmers know, getting a good start is key. UBC Thunderbird Martha McCabe was the only female swimmer in Canada to pre-qualify for the London 2012 Summer Olympics — an undeniably good start to the Games. The Toronto native also won a bronze medal in the women’s 200-metre breaststroke at the 2011 World Championships in Shanghai, China. Altay is not just an international student, he is a student with an amazing international outlook. During his first two years at UBC, he visited China, and North and South Korea to facilitate dialogues on how to achieve peace in the Korean Peninsula. He also completed internships in Northern Cyprus and in Palestine, and he competed for UBC at the World Model United Nations in Singapore. Chandni, a Go Global participant, decided to earn her last few credits by doing field work in Rwanda. She worked with Rwandan university students, UNICEF, Care, Concern, and World Vision to conduct surveys of mothers in different provinces. Erica did so well at chemistry in high school that her teacher encouraged her to pursue it as a major. This Métis student is not only a great tutor, he is also one of the top English students on UBC’s Okanagan campus and was shortlisted for a Rhodes scholarship. Kyla and Rayel have won the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) championship in varsity volleyball for the past five years. In their last year as T-Birds, Kyla and Rayel not only won the national championship, but Kyla was named CIS player of the year and Rayel was named top student athlete for the western division of the CIS. Next year, the two are planning to move to Europe to play pro volleyball but first Rayel is heading to El Salvador with Habitat for Humanity.

It’s hard work but it pays off.” “I have discovered a vast international community, always willing to lend a hand.” Danni began her university career in England but after a year she switched to UBC’s Okanagan campus. She says, “I transferred to UBC because of its high ranking among international universities, its great academic resources, and more affordable tuition.” A work-study peer mentor within the Aboriginal Centre at UBC’s Okanagan campus, Cody, a member of the Ojibway Nation, promotes balanced lifestyles using exercise to manage stress. In addition to his core pharmacology courses, Gilbert took courses in population health and intervention methods. “Those courses have really complemented my major. They gave me a greater understanding of the necessity to not only treat, but to prevent diseases effectively.” After four years at UBC, Scott has been accepted into the prestigious Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery program at the Washington Hospital Center in Washington, DC, Scott says the years ahead will build on the discipline, critical thinking, and decision-making skills he acquired at UBC. “My best advice to new students is to make as many friends as possible, always leave your door open, talk to whoever walks by, and be interested in other people’s stories. You never know who you’re going to meet.” Participating in Jump Start, UBC’s first-year transition program for all new international students and Aboriginal students (Vancouver campus only) made Rushat’s first few weeks at UBC as smooth as possible. Since coming to UBC, Danni has won the Deputy Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarship for International Students, won an International Student Community Achievement Award for her involvement in the Save Japan Campaign, and participated in UBC’s Go Global program, where she earned credits while working in England, France, Spain, and the Czech Republic. “I hope more Aboriginal students join the Human Kinetics program so our friends and family, on reserve and off, can be properly educated on the importance of exercise and the wonders it can do to their quality of life.” Having earned his Pharmacology degree, Gilbert is now in medical school at UBC and learning how to treat patients while studying the role pharmaceutical companies play in the way medication is prescribed and dispensed. “The UBC program has been great for teaching us how to be very methodical and open-minded.” Getting involved as an assistant chair at the World Model United Nations and joining a local soccer team were other key experiences in Rushat’s successful first year. 18 — THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA you.ubc.ca — 19 AT UBC Street Food The FOOD TRUCK Vancouver’s globally recognized food scene became even more interesting recently with the addition of mobile food trucks stationed throughout the city.

FINANCIAL AWARDS AND SUPPORT. UBC recognizes and rewards academic excellence. With the help of our donors, the university provides over $25 million annually in scholarships, bursaries, and work and study opportunities to outstanding undergraduate students who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership qualities, and financial need. UBC students are bright, motivated and engaged. That said, there are a limited number of awards and not every student who qualifies will receive one. For information on all of these programs, visit you.ubc.ca/ubc/vancouver-finances you.ubc.ca/ubc/okanagan-finances Work Study/Work Learn Full-time study is demanding but some students choose to work while studying to get career-related job experience and help offset expenses. However, part-time work cannot be relied upon to cover tuition and living expenses. UBC Work Study/Work Learn is an employment program that helps fund oncampus jobs for students. All students registered in a minimum number of credits per term are eligible. In addition, many programs offer paid co-op placements or internships as part of your degree. Canadian students and most international students holding a Canadian Study Permit may work part-time on or off campus. To work off-campus, students must have a work permit, for which most students can apply after six months of study. After graduation, most international students are eligible to apply for a three-year work permit. Interested students can verify their eligibility online. students.ubc.ca/international ubc.ca/okanagan/students/careers/services/jobs/workstudy CANADIAN STUDENTS Based on both merit and financial need, Canadian citizens and permanent residents are eligible for a range of one-time and renewable scholarships and awards.
