On-Campus Residence for students in the Vancouver Fraser Medical Program (VFMP)
If you are a student in the VFMP and wish to obtain residence on campus, you need to submit an application through Student Housing and Community Services. As there is a high demand for campus residence, you should consider submitting your application for residence as soon as possible. You do not have to be admitted into the MD Undergraduate Program before you can apply for campus residence.
Current UBC students can submit an application online using their student number.
Non-UBC students can complete an application form and fax it to: 604-822-6935 or email it to information@housing.ubc.ca.
Students admitted to the VFMP: If you would like to be considered for priority access to residence at Fairview Crescent, please send an email using the subject line “PAPL Class YEAR” to the VFMP Student Affairs Coordinator, immediately upon accepting your offer of admission to the VFMP. The PAPL has limited spots and is on a first-come-first-served basis. Deadline to request PAPL is May 31, 2024.
Please do not contact Student Housing and Community Services if you have questions about the Priority Access Placement List, as it is administered solely by Student Affairs.
Unfortunately, Student Affairs and Student Housing and Community Services are not able to set aside residence spaces for VFMP students relocating to Vancouver with their partners/families due to limited availability in Student Family Residence.
Moving Out for Campus Residents
Your move out date will be noted on your resident contract. If you need to move out earlier, please advise Student Housing and Community Services at least two months in advance. If Student Housing and Community Services requires proof of your academic end-date, please ask them to contact the VFMP Student Affairs Coordinator.
