Our new student guide is developed specifically with you – our new students – in mind! It’s packed with information and QR codes to UNB pages often visited by students. This guide will also give you a campus map to help you find your way around and locate your classrooms.

If you are commuting to campus, you have to purchase a parking pass. They are available for various durations (1 month, 2 months, one term, two terms and a full year for instance). Vehicles without parking passes are not ticketed during the first week of classes to give you time to pay and pick up your pass. Order a parking pass (UNB log-in credentials needed).

At UNB, your student Id card is called your U-Card. You can upload your own photo prior to coming to campus and simply pick it up from our Security office in the Athletics Centre. You can also add money to your U-Card to purchase food on campus and to print documents in our computer labs.

Many of you would like to know which textbooks to get for your classes. Each professor will provide this information when you receive your syllabus during the first day of classes. Your syllabus may be available prior to classes start via UNB’s course management system called Desire to Learn Brightspace (UNB login credentials needed). Once you have determined which textbooks you need, you can purchase them in the Campus bookstore, located on the main level of the Athletics Centre.

UNB offers many payment options. The deadline for paying your tuition and fees is September 16. If you have questions about your student account or fee statement, reach out to stufees@unb.ca and remember to include your student number. If you don’t remember your student number, you can find it on your letter of acceptance to UNB.

As a UNB Saint John student, there are lockers available to you in many of the campus buildings. You need to bring you own lock. It’s “first come, first serve”. If you see an empty locker, it’s yours!

Campus tours are part of Tuesday’s orientation’s schedule. If you are unable to participate or you wish to become familiar with campus prior to orientation, you can schedule a campus tour.

The Athletics, Recreation & Wellness department is your hub for campus recreation, intramural, fitness and more. Looking to play soccer for the Seawolves? Full-time UNB Saint John students can participate in our men’s & women’s training camp or register to tryout for our men’s and women’s volleyball and basketball teams. Full-time and part-time students are welcome to tryout for our competitive club team Seawolves Football.

Help us to make your student experience even better by participating in our Campus Recreation Survey. Great prizes to be won! Follow the Seawolves on Facebook & Instagram.

Be sure to be familiar with important campus regulations:

• Face marks must be worn in instructional spaces and indoor shared spaces as well as when transitioning indoors between classes, offices and travelling through common spaces, including hallways and stairwells.

• The face mask requirement applies to all students, faculty and staff regardless of COVID vaccination status.

• Smoking is not permitted in any university building, including residence rooms. All building entrances are designated as non-smoking areas. Smoking is not permitted within a 10-meter perimeter of any university building, or adjacent to any ventilation air intake.

There are several food services on campus: our Whitebone Pizzeria, Baird Cafeteria and the Commons Café. Make sure to explore them all and learn about the meal memberships to save money.

Student Services can always be you first go-to resource! We are a department full of helpful staff members. Our location is the ground floor of Oland Hall. You can stop by any time to ask questions or contact us via stuserv@unb.ca.
