UBC Okanagan COVID-19
information and resources

The University of British Columbia, including the Okanagan campus, is responding to the spread of COVID-19 virus.

Earlier this week, UBC launched a new website with FAQs and resources for all students, faculty and staff. The site can be accessed via ubc.ca where the latest information about UBC’s response to COVID-19 is maintained, along with links to important resources for all of our community members.

To address your Okanagan campus-specific questions, we have also launched a web page that contains important information on availability of services, key contacts for students, and ongoing updates on the measures we are taking in the interest of health and safety.

For the latest UBC Okanagan Campus service information, please visit ok.ubc.ca/covid19.
