To all our students, faculty and staff, we hope you had a restful holiday and a happy New Year. 

As we enter 2022, we know the Omicron variant is a concern for many in our community. The UBC Broadcast, dated December 22, indicated that the university would delay the majority of in-person teaching and learning until January 24, with in-person learning continuing for some programs. 

We understand that students, faculty and staff require timely information for planning, particularly those who may be travelling internationally. Today we are confirming that UBC has made the decision to continue to deliver the majority of programs online until February 7.
