Orientations at UBC

Welcome to UBC! We have many orientations events to introduce campus life to our new faculty and staff. Please consider taking part in the following events.

In-Person Orientations

Vancouver Campus: Our university-wide orientation provides a great way to connect with others who are new to campus. The orientations are coordinated by the Department of Human Resources. Visit our University-Wide Orientations page to view upcoming staff orientation dates.

Okanagan Campus: Contact UBC Human Resources at our Okanagan campus (250.807.8833) for information on new Faculty and Staff Orientation activities. Learn more about Okanagan Orientations.

Virtual Orientations

Unable to attend an in-person orientation session? UBC has developed a number of online orientations:

Virtual Welcome and Resource Centre: A centralized online hub of information for new and current faculty and staff.

Quick Start Orientation: A user-friendly way to find customized information delivered to your email or in a web browser format. Great for your first week or month at the university!

Supervisor-Supported Online Tool Kit: Self-enrol with your CWL in a supervisor-supported orientation for new hires.
