P6 and P7 Registration – June 25th 3:30pm

Registration for P6 & P7 (Sept – Dec 2014) will open for FT and PT MBA students on Wednesday, June 25th, 2014 at 3:30pm.  Registration will be on a first come, first served basis so please note this date on your calendars.  A reminder e-mail will be sent closer to this date.

You can register for modules by logging into the SSC with your CWL: https://ssc.adm.ubc.ca/sscportal/servlets/SRVSSCFramework. If you haven’t recently logged into the SSC, familiarize yourself with the system prior to the registration date. We also recommend that you create a ‘Worklist’ and schedule for the modules you plan take in order to avoid last minute registration panic.

UPDATE: Incoming exchange students please note that you will be registered by the Graduate Programs Office into the modules that you have filled out on your survey. This post is to inform the current FT MBA students.

If a module is FULL please email askmba@sauder.ubc.ca in order to be placed on the waiting list.

Schedule
You will find the FT MBA P6 & P7 schedule on the Current Student website.

FT MBA students can take PT MBA modules provided there is space, and they can self-register via the SSC. If a PT MBA module is FULL please email askmba@sauder.ubc.ca in order to be placed on the waiting list.

Career Track Requirements Sheets
Please review the Career Track Requirements sheets when making your registration choices to ensure that you meet the requirements for your track. The Career Track Requirement sheets are also posted on your Current Student website.

Summary of changes to track requirements & scheduling for P6 & P7 compared to what was posted last year:

Overloading
Students wishing to overload must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 80%. The online request form can be found here: https://secure.sauder.ubc.ca/mba/overload_request/overload_request.cfm

Module Outlines
We will be updating the website as the latest information becomes available but last year’s outlines will still be available for your reference. Please make note of the dates and version of the outline you use.  If the new outline is not available but the module (and instructor) you plan to register for is the same from last year, the new outline will likely be the same. We are working on getting the most updated module outlines posted ASAP.  If you have any questions, please email the instructor directly for clarification.

Make-up Classes
There will be make-up classes for misses classes scheduled in P6 & P7 – and they will be listed at the bottom of each page on the FT MBA P6 & P7 schedule. Please check the schedule when registering, as make-up classes do not necessarily take place during usual class hours. Dates for make-up classes will be added at a later date.

Dropping Modules
Students may choose to drop modules WITHOUT a “W” standing after no more than 4 hours of teaching (usually 1 week of classes)

  • Students who withdraw after receiving between 4hrs – 8hrs teaching will receive a “W” standing on their transcript.  A “W” standing does not affect grade point average
  • Students who withdraw after more than 8hrs teaching will receive a standing of “F” on their transcript. A standing of “F” affects grade point average.
  • If you are trying to decide between two modules please attend both the first week of class and then make your decision so you don’t miss out on important information. Please be aware that some instructors form groups in the first class, so the sooner you can finalize your schedule the better in order to not disrupt groups in the modules.

Exam Period
The exam schedule will be released via the blogs in week 2 or 3 of each Period.  Students are not permitted to reschedule exams for any reason (other than medical).  Please keep this in mind when being asked to interview for positions during exam week – interviewers are generally flexible and are open to rescheduling if you notify them about your exam. The BCC staff can also help negotiate different interview times if you notify them of your dilemma. The full exam policy can be found on Vista (in the Policies folder).

Advising
If you have any questions about registration please contact askmba@sauder.ubc.ca and if you require academic advising for your program planning for P6 & P7 please contact Charles Lee (Charles.lee@sauder.ubc.ca) directly.

Update: MBA Experiential Course Requirement

In consultation with your Track Champions, we have updated the Experiential Course requirements to reflect an updated assignment at the end of your summer experience period.  Students will now need to submit a Final Report (10-15 pages) to their faculty supervisors by September 12, 2014 instead of conducting a presentation to faculty.

Below are updated documents to reflect this change.  If you have submitted your internship paperwork to the BCC, you do NOT need to re-submit your paperwork again (just take note of this new requirement and deadline).  MBA students will need to touch base with their faculty supervisor to determine the format and vision for this final report as it will count towards your final grade.

A friendly reminder for those of you who have secured an internship, entrepreneurial or industry project – please submit your completed documents (MBA Internship/ Project agreements & Confidentiality forms) to Carly Boettcher, Graduate Careers Assistant by Friday, June 13, 2014.
