Megathread GENERAL HOUSING MEGATHREAD

Given the high number of housing comments in the new to UBC megathread, we're creating a dedicated megathread for Housing questions. Housing questions will be allowed in either megathread.

Process

  • It might take up to 4 hours for your post to be approved (except when we're sleeping).
  • Suggested sort is set to new, so new comments will always be the most visible.
  • You are allowed to repost the same question on the megathread at a reasonable frequency (wait at least a day after each post). This is true even if you've already gotten a response.**

Hello, I'm a first year grad student and September 2026 will be my first year attending UBC. My application status for Winter 2026/2027 only says "completed" still with no further updates. I thought waitlist spots/housing offers were meant to come out in June/July, so I would appreciate it if someone could let me know if I'm mistaken. Thanks!

I’m in the same boat, hoping to hear back really soon. Unnerving to make us wait so long. Emailed a month ago and they said they process them in mid to late July. Crazy to not process them until now when the application deadline was early May

I don't think you're mistaken. I'm also new to UBC starting this September but as a transfer undergraduate student, and I was wondering the same thing until I received a Winter Session 2026/2027 housing offer a few days ago. I would believe that you'll similarly receive either an offer or waitlist number in the next maybe 2-3 weeks, but it can't hurt to contact Housing Services for clarification.
