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

  2. On the “Registration” menu to the very right, click the “Find Course Sections” link. 

Select your academic term 

In the pop-up menu, select the term 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’. 
  3. Select the academic term you are searching for. Make sure you choose the correct campus. For example, if you are a student planning your schedule for the 2024/25 Winter Term 1 at the Okanagan Campus, select ‘2024-25 Winter Term 1 (UBC-O)’.

Use the search bar

  1. Search for specific courses by searching for individual subjects (E.g. ENGL, BIOL, HES)

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.
