A message from Santa J. Ono, President and Vice-Chancellor; Lesley Cormack, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Principal, UBC Okanagan

As you know, we are about to begin the 2022/23 academic year. Whether you are a student, faculty or staff, we hope you enjoy the energy that comes with the start of winter session.

We are aware that members of our community may have questions related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As we announced in June of this year, UBC no longer requires students, faculty and staff to wear non-medical masks, but we continue to recommend that masks be worn in indoor public spaces.

As a reminder, students, faculty and staff who take part in academic activities in health settings on campus or outside of university campuses may still be required to wear a mask if mandated by a Public Health Order.
