The Academic Progress Report (APR) outlines the requirements for your program of study. This tool is now live on your Workday Student account and contains the degree requirements for your Diploma in Accounting program.
Please note that we are currently working on updating the APR requirements in Workday Student. Until further notice from the DAP Office, we recommend avoiding reliance on the APR. Instead, please refer to our Graduation Checklist to help track your degree progress.
Rest assured, we are actively working to resolve any inconsistencies and will provide the most up-to-date information to support you.

Term 2 course planning
Academic advising

Student supports over the winter break
Term 2 course planning In January, the DAP office will review the academic progress of all DAP students. In preparation for Term 2, please review Academic Standing – myUBCDAP.
Your final grades will be available on Workday in the coming weeks. We would like to remind you that it is your responsibility to ensure that you have met any course requirements for your registered Term 2 courses, including all co-requisites and prerequisites.
Continue to add yourself to available waitlists for any Term 2 courses you still wish to take. You will receive a time-limited notification to accept a seat if one becomes available.
If you fail a course or if your overall Term 1 average falls below the minimum 50% sessional average required for continuation, we encourage you to meet with an Academic Advisor in January to review your Term 2 course schedule and academic plan. Advisors can connect you to resources that will help you in your studies and can help you plan your degree and a manageable course load.
One of our January goals is to support students who have questions or concerns directly related to Term 2 before the add/drop deadline of January 17, 2025. If you have questions that do not require immediate attention (e.g., long-term course planning), please book an appointment for after January 17 when we resume regular advising appointments. Appointments can be booked 10 days in advance.
Winter break office hours The DAP office will close at 1:00 pm on Tuesday, December 24 and will reopen after the winter break on Thursday, January 2 at 8:30 am.
Student supports over the winter break Many offices at UBC will also be closed or have reduced hours over the break. If you are looking for student supports, please visit students.ubc.ca/ubclife/student-supports-over-holidays.
We wish you a safe and restful winter break and look forward to seeing you in January!
