Student Life

Our student services are grounded in learning, development, and fun, both within and outside of the classroom. Our goal is to establish an environment in which students can access all that UBC has to offer, develop in personally meaningful ways, and build competencies that enable them to improve the world. These objectives for students are highlighted in the student mission: full participation, personal growth, and purposeful contribution. Each is critical, and they are interdependent.
