This is your chance to meet other new UFV students, and ask your student tour guide about what it's like to study at UFV. Whether you're a brand new student at UFV, or you've been studying with us for a while, wayfinding tours will help you navigate the Abbotsford and Chilliwack UFV campuses with confidence!
Please note that campus wayfinding tours provided by the Orientation team for the Fall 2022 semester have a limited capacity, and are only available to UFV students currently enrolled in one or more courses this upcoming semester.
As always, campus tours are also available by request for current and future UFV students, and their parents/supporters, any time through the
Future Students webpage!

- View a campus map
UFV has campus maps for each of its campus locations, including: Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Hope, Aggasiz, Clearbrook, and Mission.

- Stop by an Ask-me station
Ask-me stations will be set up in various locations on UFV campuses during the first week of classes. Feel free to stop by and ask for directions, or talk to a student Orientation Ambassador about any of your UFV-related questions.
UFV is located in the traditional territory of the Stó:lō peoples, where Halq’améylem is spoken. The Halq’améylem word given to us for New Student Orientation (NSO) is Tl’etl’axel, which means "to invite people to gather in one community."
Visit our New Students page to learn more about the meaning behind the NSO logo, and Chantelle Trainor-Matties, the Indigenous graphic designer and UFV alum who created it.
