UVIC BUDDY PROGRAMME
Some weeks before the start of the academic semester, you will receive the first e-mail from your UVic Buddy. Buddies are UVic students and staff who voluntarily give their time to offer wherever help or guidance you might need as you settle in at the University and will be available to you during your stay with us. They might be among your first friends here, helping you deal with issues that may arise. During each semester, these UVic Buddies will also organise a series of activities to help you feel at home.
