UBC transitions to Workday Student, students express ...
UBC implemented a new student portal, Workday Student on May 21.
ubyssey.caHere’s the latest I can share based on publicly reported updates.
- UBC’s Workday Student went live for students and staff as part of the Integrated Renewal Program, with access introduced around mid-2024 and ongoing enhancements through 2025. This means students increasingly use Workday to register for classes, view grades, transcripts, and manage personal/financial information in one system.[1][4]
- There have been reports of early transition challenges, including login/Sign-In issues and some navigation/availability hiccups as users move from the old Student Service Centre to Workday, with UBC and IT staff actively working to resolve them and provide tutorials and support channels.[3][4][1]
- For login specifics, students can typically access Workday with their CWL credentials, and UBC Maintenance/Support pages outline steps if you run into access problems, including password resets and official guidance for off-campus access where VPN or direct links may be involved.[4][5]
- Faculty and instructors are also affected by the transition, with communications noting changes to service centers and the replacement of older systems with Workday and related apps to streamline administration and student information flows.[6][4]
If you want, I can pull the most current status from UBC’s official updates and student news outlets and summarize any known login hiccups, current access instructions, and where to find help.
