Welcome to the start of term! Accessing Workday Student – your UBC student system

Welcome to the start of term!

As you may be aware, as of September 1, 2024, UBC has fully transitioned student systems from the Student Service Centre (SSC) to Workday Student (WDS)

Moving forward, all incoming and current UBC DAP students should be using WDS as well as myUBCDAP for program-related tasks. Specifically, all registration activity for DAP courses (registration in new courses, transfers and withdrawals) are to be done through myUBCDAP:

As well, you can view a summary schedule and timetable for the current and upcoming terms at Course Schedules – myUBCDAP.

For this reason, all DAP students will see a Full Registration Hold on your profiles, which specifies that registration for DAP students (add/drop/transfer) does not take place on Workday. You will see this hold for the entirety of your time in the program.

There will be areas of WDS that will be applicable and relevant to your student journey that we encourage you to visit and familiarize yourself with. As a starting point, please review your personal information details on your profile and update as needed. Please review Personal information | Workday Tutorials (ubc.ca) for further information on how to make these updates. You may notice that other functionality isn’t available yet – these features will be rolled out in a phased approach and will come online when you need to perform key tasks.

To get started with WDS, please login with your CWL: Home – Workday (myworkday.com).

Technical Support
If you encounter technical issues with your CWL or with inaccurate data on your record, please see below for how you can find help:

For any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our office at askdap@sauder.ubc.ca.  We recognize that this is a major transition impacting the entire university community, especially for our continuing students who are accustomed to using the previous student system. This change also impacts our faculty and staff, and we acknowledge that while we may not always have immediate answers to all your questions (we’re learning alongside you!), we are committed to supporting you through this process as best as we can.
