UBC Housing requires a credit card number in order to reserve a room; if you don't feel comfortable sending your credit card information over e-mail then phone it in to this number: 604-822-1000 ext. 3. You can also try phoning it in to the toll free number, but this has not been working well.
  2. Contact Erica Stahl directly at stahl.erica@gmail.com and she will happily make the reservation for you, though you will still have to phone in with your credit card information to secure the reservation.
