Under British Columbia’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA), records that are created at UBC may be requested. Requests for records are called Freedom of Information (FOI) requests. With limited exceptions, FIPPA requires UBC to release requested records. The Office of the University Counsel (OUC) coordinates and processes all FOI requests in accordance with procedures set out in FIPPA, and can help you with this process.
