Viewing the course schedule

About the course schedule 

  • The Winter Session course schedule for the Okanagan campus is usually published mid-May. 
  • The Summer Session course schedule is usually published in February. 
  • You may see future academic years listed in Workday. However, the course schedule is published one year at a time and will not yet be available for future years. 

How to view the course schedule  

First, go to your Academics app  

  1. Log into your Workday account at myworkday.ubc.ca.  
  2. Click the “Academics” tab in the “Your Top Apps” menu on the right side of the page.  

Next, find course sections 

  1. Click the “Registration & Courses” tab in the top menu. 
  2. On the “Registration” menu to the very right, click the “Find Course Sections” link. 

Select the academic Term or Session 

In the pop-up menu, select the Term or Session you want to find course sections for: 

  1. Click the “Start Date within” field. 
  2. If you are exploring courses for the upcoming year, select ‘Future Periods’. 
    • Make sure you choose the correct campus (i.e., UBC-O for the Okanagan campus, UBC-V for the Vancouver campus).
  3. For Winter registration, each Term must be selected individually.
    • Select one or both of Winter Term 1 and/or Winter Term 2.
    • Do not choose the option that combines Winter Term 1 and Winter Term 2 as it will not display the courses.

4. For Summer registration, select the Academic Session.

Select your academic level  

In the pop-up menu, pick the academic level you are searching for: 

  1. Click the “Academic Level” field. 
  2. Select ‘Undergraduate’ (e.g. bachelor’s degree programs) or ‘Graduate’ (e.g. master’s degree and PhD programs) from the list.  
    • Do not select ‘Academic Level Not Applicable’. This will result in an error.  
  3. Click the “OK” button to move on to the next step.

Filter your search results, and view drop and withdrawal deadlines

  1. To narrow your results, select the filters on the left menu. You can filter by campus, course level, course subject, number of credits, delivery mode, and instructional format.  
  2. Click the box next to the filter you want to apply. Your search results will be automatically updated.
  3. Click “Expand All” to view course section details, and drop and withdrawal deadlines.

 

Use the search bar

  1. Search for specific courses by searching for individual subjects (E.g. ENGL, BIOL, HES)
  2. If you know the specific course you are looking for, enter the course code using the format CourseCode_O CourseNumber (E.g. ENGL_O 112, BIOL_O 202)

When you find a course you want to take, prepare for course registration by creating a saved schedule. Creating a saved schedule does not register you in courses. You must follow separate instructions to register from a saved schedule. 

If your registration is open, you can register for a section directly from the search results without adding it to a saved schedule.
