The Graduate Student Society (GSS) is run by and for the 10,000 graduate students at UBC Vancouver. We promote and protect our members’ academic, social and cultural interests.
Thea Koerner House, the home of the Society, has been the centre of graduate student life on campus since it was opened in 1962.
Supports Vancouver Campus graduate students facing unexpected hardships by covering expenses such as medical fees, urgent travel, loss of funding, and critical belongings.
Surveys, investigations, student feedback, committee research, and focus groups inform policy recommendations and advocacy efforts directed at the university and government.
Affiliate Organizations (AOs) work with GSS to access funding, event promotion, and campus-wide collaboration opportunities, helping connect and support UBC’s graduate student community.
The AMS/GSS Health & Dental Plan provides students with extended coverage for expenses not included in basic plans, such as prescription drugs, dental care, travel health, and vision care.
The AMS/GSS Health Plan Premium Assistance Fund provides a partial or up to a full reimbursement of the fee for the AMS/GSS Health & Dental Plan based on financial need.
