Help reduce traffic on Jump Start Residence Move-in Day

Each year, UBC Vancouver welcomes thousands of new students, some of whom participate in the Jump Start orientation program and move into their on-campus residence the week before classes begin—with the remainder moving in the weekend before term one starts. Similar to last year, Move-in Day for Jump Start students will take place on Tuesday, August 26.

In order to support our new students and reduce traffic on the UBC Vancouver campus that day, faculty and staff are encouraged to adjust commute times, use public transportation where feasible, or work with their supervisor on alternative arrangements.

Please note that the Rose Garden Parkade and Thunderbird Parkade will be reserved for Move-in Day vehicle traffic on August 26. Faculty and staff who normally park in the Rose Garden Parkade are encouraged to use the West Parkade. Faculty and staff who normally park in the Thunderbird Parkade are encouraged to use the Health Sciences Parkade.

Move-in Day is such a special time for the university, and it always brings lots of positive energy. Thank you in advance for helping reduce traffic so we can ensure our new students enjoy a smooth and welcoming move-in experience.
