Accessing UBC buildings on evenings and weekends

You’ll need your UBCcard to access some UBC buildings on weekdays after 5:00 pm and on weekends. If you have classes, research, or work requirements, your UBCcard will grant you access to these spaces. If you don’t have a UBCcard yet, you can apply online.

Student facilities like the libraries, recreational centres, or AMS Nest remain open during their regular hours.
