Hello %ffff246c-caf5-4b20-bddc-60d860bab5a6%,

Thank you for registering to the event %EVENT_NAME%. This email confirms your registration for Jump Start 2024!

A reminder that there are several next steps you must take in order to be ready for Jump Start...

1. Plan your Housing

Residence Students - All first-year students wishing to live on-campus are encouraged to apply for on-campus housing by May 1 in order to be considered for the First Year Guarantee. Regardless of your application date, if you receive a housing offer for the Winter Term 1 and you are planning on living in residence during Jump Start week, you must remember to accept your housing offer right away, as housing offers have expiry dates.

Off-campus Students - ensure you will have access to your off-campus housing prior to the start of Jump Start. A reminder that on-campus housing is not available during Jump Start to those who plan on living off-campus in Winter Term 1-2.

2. Plan your Arrival

Students outside of the Kelowna region are invited to arrive on August 27 for check-in. Complimentary shuttles to the UBCO Campus will be available from the Kelowna International Airport on August 27 during peak hours (no booking is required).

For those who live locally, you will check in for Jump Start on-campus on the morning of August 28.

3. Read your Email

Students attending Jump Start will have access to an online Canvas-based course where all Jump Start information will be shared. We will notify all Jump Start registrants via email when the course is opened.

We also recommend you read any emails about Jump Start or Orientation carefully, as updates will be sent periodically.

4. Learn about our other Orientation Programs

All incoming students will be automatically enrolled into UBC 101 in May (also through Canvas). We highly recommend participating in the new content each week. Learn more about UBC 101. Indigenous Students will have access to an alternate version of UBC 101 that is self-paced, and will be supported by additional programming through the Indigenous Programs and Services Office.

Also, be sure to register for Create Orientation, happening on September 2, 2024. Learn more abut Create Orientation.
