UBC Student Strategic Plan
The Student Strategic Plan is the first step to supporting all UBC students in their current academic journey and beyond. By bringing a student focus to institutional plans across the university, we aim to apply a student lens to decisions made at UBC.
The Plan represents our shared purpose and priorities in fostering an outstanding student experience across both campuses grounded in learning, development, and funding.

Students are at the heart of what we do at UBC
We acknowledge that UBC’s two main campuses are located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) and Syilx peoples, and that UBC activities take place on Indigenous lands throughout British Columbia and beyond.
We are excited for you to join us in our commitment to students, and encourage you to stay connected throughout our five-year journey to enhance the student experience. Let’s begin!
