Move In Day

If you are arriving from outside of Canada, whether returning to campus or moving in for the first time, make sure you understand the quarantine/self-isolation requirements that apply to you. Learn more about travelling to Canada/UBC.

A reminder that if the Canadian Government requires you to quarantine (self-isolate) for 14 days and to self-monitor for symptoms, you cannot self-isolate in a shared unit in Upper Year residence or in a single, connected single or shared room in First Year residence and must make a separate arrangement for this period. The university is offering a variety of self-isolation accommodation packages to any members of the UBC community who need to self-isolate after arriving in Canada.
