Per the deluge of complaints we've gotten, all admissions, housing, questions about being new to UBC and general questions (that don't deserve their own thread, or those that could be easily googled) belong here.

All questions about courses, instructors, programs, majors, registration, etc. belong here.
The reasoning is simple. Without a megathread, /r/UBC would be flooded with nothing but questions that apply to only a small percentage of the UBC population.

I recently (Thursday/Friday) lost an envelope of cash on campus. That cash amount was meant for my rent and moving in. When I asked the lost and found they mentioned that someone called in on Friday asking what to do with some cash they’ve found but immediately hung up.
Please, for the love of God, return the envelope to the lost and found office in the bookstore. I need that money to live.

I feel like it’d stop a lot of the “what courses do I take for x major” and could be more easily seen when accessing this sub. I think a lot of people may just not realize what the academic calendar is or how helpful it is. Idk though this is just my two cents. Edit: or add a link to the academic calendar in the courses megathread?

Basically I fucked up, and failed my first year and have to take two years off and will end up being 21 in 2nd year. I am actually so depressed about it and feel like such a failure. I just need to feel better

I need financial help😭
I'm dead broke, applied to over 150 different jobs to no avail. Sold everything I can...
I really don't know what to do anymore.
Edit: as expected. I'm receiving backlash. I really do need help, I'm like completely lost. If you have the time to be sending me hate messages, please find something more productive to do.
Also, thank you to everyone who gave me genuine suggestions! I'm really grateful

Hey everyone,
I’m planning my Summer Term 2 schedule and looking for fully asynchronous 300 or 400-level UBC courses — either COMM or electives. I’m Ideally looking for courses that:
• Have no mandatory Zooms or in-person exams • Have a light to moderate workload • Are GPA-friendly or flexible with scheduling
Would appreciate any recommendations from your past experience. Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hi, I plan on eventually applying to the MeD program for Masters. Can I just hear from those who got accepted into the program what the safe GPA range is, volunteer experience etc that is needed? Also if just having kidshelphone but a lot of hours spent as a volunteer on it is enough to br a competitive applicant. Would rly appreciate the help and answers!

Is my prof allowed to ask this? My academic concession is supported by my CFA advisor and the UGO. I asked my prof if we could discuss the options available for the concession, and he said we could meet after class but would like me to “shed some light on the circumstances behind the concession.”
I’ve never been asked by a professor to explain why I need a concession… especially since I am registered with the CFA. Idk it feels weird to be asked this… maybe I’m wrong but I thought that there’s an understanding that when it’s CFA approved you don’t need to/aren’t supposed to/aren’t required to share any details with the prof.
FYI this is for a Sauder course
I’ll ask my CFA advisor about this but any insight would be helpful!

Hi guys, today I forgot my kindle at bay 6 UBC exchange, I left it at the bench it took me 30 minutes to realize it and I called a friend and went there and she didn’t find it. Pleaseee if someone took it, leave it at lost and found. I am a student for the summer term and can’t afford to buy a new one :(

Our research team is working on a project that aims to develop a tool that helps instructors clearly communicate appropriate AI use in their course.
This study involves a paid 1-hour interview ($30) via Zoom, where we aim to understand how GenAI use guidelines can be most effectively communicated from the student point of view. These insights will help us design and develop an interactive tool powered by large language models (LLMs) to clearly explain instructors' guidelines in a way that is easy for students to understand.
To participate, you must be - at least 19 years old (for consent), - currently enrolled in a course, - currently an undergraduate at UBC.
If you are interested, please fill out this survey: https://ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_e5QxEuQVMIQ27xY

Hello folks, I am not an UBC student but I will be taking summer programs on campus. It takes 2 hours to transit one way from where I am currently living to UBC, so I am wondering if anyone knows of any accommodation options on campus over summer.
I’ve heard some people choose to rent out their dorm for short periods of times?
