SELF-GUIDED TOUR [WINTER 2021 VERSION]
INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SERVICES – UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY

Welcome to the University of Calgary! This document is a self-guided tour that will help you explore our Main Campus
on your own. If you have any questions, feel free to send an email to [email protected] and we are more than happy to
assist you with any questions you may have.
As a helpful tip, on the UCalgary map, each building is labelled with an abbreviated series of letters (e.g. MacEwan
Student Centre = MSC). Each classroom or office has a room number; the first number usually tells you which floor it’s
on (e.g. 275 means Room 275 on the 2nd floor of a building).
Figure 1. Our Main Campus from above
COVID-19 Updates: most campus services have remote/online/virtual services. Please visit office websites directly to learn how to access their services best at this time. Check that physical spaces, offices, and study spaces are open before you plan to visit offices in-person if needed. If you’re visiting campus in-person, make sure to follow all directional signage, wear a face mask, sanitize your hands, and follow any posted health guidelines.
Please keep in mind that winter in Calgary can have extremely cold temperatures (-30oC to -15oC). Always check the
weather before travelling to campus or to classes, especially if you are walking or taking public transit. As UCalgary has
an extensive network of indoor connections/tunnels, many students use these when walking to class to avoid walking
outside.
Let’s start with MacEwan Student Centre (students often call it MacHall for short, MSC). This is at the heart of our
campus. The building has many student offices, students’ club centre, and so on.
Figure 2. MacEwan Student Centre (MSC) building (commonly called MacHall)
On the second floor of this building, when you first enter the building from the front as in Figure 2:
International Student Services (ISS) is located on the 2nd floor of MacHall, which is the main level of the building. The
office provides individual advising, events, and programs for international students to help adjust to life in Calgary and
Canada. When it opens, it has a nice study lounge when you can escape the busy and hustle feeling of MacHall.
