Know My Rights and Responsibilities
The UBC Calendar
The UBC Calendar is our official rulebook. Refer to it for comprehensive information about all of the programs, courses, services, and academic policies of the University. Much of the information is also presented here on the myBCom website. We’ve made every effort to ensure its completeness and accuracy; however, in any instance where this website does not agree with the information in the UBC Calendar, the regulations and policies in the Calendar will prevail. The UBC Sauder School of Business and the University reserve the right to change academic policies at their discretion. Such changes may be implemented without prior notice and may be applied to currently enrolled students.
