As we get started with the new term, please take a moment to review and update your personal information on Workday as needed:

• Emergency contact information
• Personal contact information
• Third-party authorizations (if applicable)
• SIN or ITN number
• Other personal information updates

If any of your personal information has changed recently, we encourage you to update it as soon as possible.

Thank you, and best wishes for the term ahead.

Here are a few important reminders for you as you get ready to start your classes this term.

✅ Check your schedule and classroom locations on Workday:

• Log in to your account at Workday UBC using your Campus-Wide Login (CWL)
• Select Student in the left sidebar menu
• Click on Academics
• Choose View My Course Schedule (on the mobile app, you can switch directly to Calendar View)
• Select your desired Academic Period (term or session) and press Done

✅ Review your course syllabi via the myUBCDAP dashboard (click here to login with your CWL, then here):
Your syllabus is your guide to the term and includes important information about course expectations, assessments, key dates, and course policies. It is also where you’ll find information about any required or recommended textbooks and course materials.

✅ Access your course sites on Canvas:
Most Canvas course sites will begin to become available when classes start on September 8. Please note that courses may be published at different times, so not all courses may appear immediately.

✅ Review important registration deadlines: Registering for Courses – myUBCDAP:
Be sure to note the following upcoming deadlines for this term

• Monday, September 21^st: Last day to add or drop courses for a full refund
• Friday, October 30^th: Last day to withdraw from courses with a W standing (no refund)

✅ If you’re on a waitlist, have a backup plan
While students are often added to courses from the waitlist, we cannot guarantee that a seat will become available. If you need a course this term and another section has open seats, we encourage you to consider registering in the available section rather than relying on a waitlist.

We look forward to welcoming you to the new term and wish you a successful term!
