Student Housing and Community Services Desk
[edit]There is a Student Housing and Community Services desk in Nechako on the second floor. The desk is responsible for a lot of things that happen around the University of British Columbia. If students have questions about specific fees or need to pick up mail or a package, they go there. Students also go there for the majority of issues relating to on-campus housing. One would go to the front desk and have a new card made if they misplaced the one they needed to access their room. Students also visit there to reload their laundry cards or obtain new ones.
