Congratulations, and welcome! Once you have been accepted to Green College, you will want to start planning for your arrival.
Once you have accepted an offer of resident membership at Green College you will receive emails both from the College Office and your resident Welcome Committee with some helpful first tips. Just before you arrive, you will find out about your room assignment at the College.
You will be added to the College’s resident email list “gc-residents”, connecting you to the member community before you arrive. You will also be signed up to receive the “Weekly Bulletin” e-newsletter for residents, and a weekly events e-newsletter to keep you informed of what is happening at the College.
In this section for incoming and new residents, you will find a helpful checklist of items to bring or purchase on arrival, as well as a checklist of things to do to help you settle in once you’re here. You will also be able to find out about services on the UBC campus and nearby, and about transportation options to, from and around the College.
