Registering for Courses

Once you have been admitted into the program, you can access your myUBCDAP dashboard to register for courses and make changes to your schedule as soon as registration opens for each academic session. If you want to make changes to your schedule, make sure to note Upcoming withdrawal, transfer and refund deadlines.

Is your registration status blocked on SSC?

All DAP students will see their registration as “Blocked” on SSC because you do not use SSC to register for DAP courses. All registration, transfers, and withdrawals are completed through your myUBCDAP dashboard.

*These deadlines are the final deadlines to add or transfer into new courses to your schedule; however, it is strongly recommended that you have your schedule set from the start of the term and not wait until this deadline to start a course. This is also the final deadline to drop a course without a W standing and for a full refund of tuition fees and to transfer out of a course. For deadlines to withdraw from courses with a W standing and for a partial refund, see Course Withdrawals & Transfers.

How to register – by payment type

Tuition is due at the time of registration for each individual course. We are unable to accept pre-payment for courses beyond each registration cycle. Once you have paid for your courses, visit SSC to see that the course will appear on your timetable to confirm your registration (allow 2 business days for this update). Available options for course payments are as follows.

Unfortunately, we are not able to accept any other forms of payment outside of the ones listed below; this includes payments by EFT, wire transfers, or online bank transfers from any financial institutions.

Paying for your courses by Visa or MasterCard

  1. Go to myUBCDAP Dashboard – Register Now.
  2. Select individual courses from the Select Course menu and add to shopping cart.
  3. Once all courses have been selected, select Checkout from the shopping cart and follow steps to proceed with payment.
  4. Upon submission of payment, you will receive a confirmation e-mail that your registration has been received; if you don’t receive this email, please contact our office.

Paying for your courses by certified cheque/bank draft/money order (issued by a Canadian bank)

  1. Go to myUBCDAP Dashboard – Register Now.
  2. Download and complete the registration form for the given term and submit with payment in the corresponding amount.
    *Please note that as the DAP office is currently closed to the public, we are only accepting the registration form and payment by mail to the DAP office. It is strongly recommended for students to register online if possible; however, if submission of the printed registration form with payment by certified cheque/bank draft/money order (issued by a Canadian bank) is the only available option for you, it is strongly advised that you use a trackable method of delivery.
  3. Once our office receives your registration form and payment, you will receive a confirmation e-mail once your registration has been processed.

Deferred payment of tuition fees for Canadian student loan applicants

Students paying tuition with Canadian government issued student loans can request a deferral of your tuition payment until the start of classes. The steps to register for this deferral are as follows:

  1. Go to Register Now – Registration Form.
  2. Download and complete the registration form for the given term and submit with proof of your student loan application by email to dap@sauder.ubc.ca:
    • If you’ve applied for a full-time loan, a screenshot from the online student loan application showing your name and student loan application status would be sufficient.
    • If you’ve applied for a part-time loan, bring your paper loan application form to UBC Enrolment Services Advising Centre, located at Brock Hall (1874 East Mall), and ask to take a copy of the LAST page of the form after it’s been stamped by their staff. A copy of this last page is all that’s required as supplemental documentation of your student loan application. Alternatively, email confirmation from Enrolment Services to confirm that your part-time loan application is received will be accepted as well.
  3. Once our office receives your registration form and proof of student loan application, you will receive a confirmation e-mail once your registration has been processed, along with instructions on how to pay your tuition fees once you’ve received your funds.
