Other Problems

On Campus Housing

The Community Living Handbook outlines everything you need to know about living in your new home, including your rights and responsibilities in the residence community. This is an important document that all current and prospective residents should read to better understand the community you are joining, the rights and expectations we all share, and the potential consequences for inappropriate behaviour.

Students who have been accused of violating the community living standards, may appeal Verbal or Written Warning, On Notice and/or On Probation Sanctions to the Director of Resident Services five (5) University business days from the receipt of follow up letter.

Off Campus Housing

Living off campus can be fun and exciting but it can also come with challenges living with roommates and having to deal with a landlord.  The Tenant Resource and Advisory Centre (TRAC) provides information about residential tenancy law to tenants across British Columbia.  TRAC’s purpose is to promote the legal protection of residential tenants across British Columbia by providing information, education, support and research on residential tenancy matters.

Employment Standards

The law in B.C. sets standards for payment, compensation and working conditions in most workplaces. The standards promote open communication, fair treatment and life-work balance for employees concerning wages and statutory entitlements. In most situations, employers have to abide by the BC Employment Standards Act. Please note if you are in a union, a collective agreement may be in place to resolve workplace issues.
