From Your Inbox: Term 1 Academic Review + Term 2 Advising

Dear DAP Students, 

We hope this email finds you well! As we look to 2026, we’d like to share some information with you about Term 2.   

  • Term 2 Course Planning 
  • Academic Advising   
  • Student Supports Over the Winter Break     

Term 2 Course Planning  
Your final grades will be available on Workday in the upcoming weeks. Please keep the following in mind as you review your grades and prepare for Term 2:  

  • In early January, the Office of Student Academic Services will review the academic progress of all DAP students, and we will connect with you during the first week of classes if your Term 1 average fell below 55% or if you failed a course. We will have academic advising and resources specific to students in these situations.  
  • You can find details on progression and continuation requirements here on myUBCDAP 
  • 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. You will find co-requisites and prerequisites for a course on the Curriculum page on myUBCDAP or on Workday when you look up a course. 
  • Note that the last day of the add/drop period is Friday, January 16.   

Academic Advising and Office Hours
OSAS will close on Wednesday, December 24 at 1:00pm and will re-open on Friday, January 2, 2026. Academic advising appointments will be available from Monday, January 5, 2026. Information on how to schedule an appointment can be found here: Program Advising – myUBCDAP.  

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 16, 2026. If you have questions that do not require immediate attention (e.g., long-term course planning), then we ask that you book an appointment for after January 16, when we resume regular advising appointments. We genuinely appreciate your help in making the add/drop period as efficient as possible.      
   
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/2025-student-service-holiday-hours/.   
   
We wish you a safe and restful winter break and look forward to seeing you in January!   
   
Sincerely,   

OSAS Academic Advising Team   
Abril, Ann, Celeste, Gabriela, Galina, Jamie, Jessica, Katelyn, Kirsten, Ruth, Sheila, Wally
