Faculty express frustration with transition to Workday Student
With UBC's implementation of Workday Student, some faculty have also expressed frustration about the transition creating possible delays and confusion.
ubyssey.caI don’t have live access right now, but here’s what’s generally known about UBC Workday login and recent context.
Direct answer
- UBC’s Workday Student portal has been in place since mid-2024 to replace the old Student Service Centre for course registration, grades, transcripts, and personal/financial information. Students typically use their CWL (Campus-Wide Login) credentials and MFA/Duo to sign in.
Key context and what’s changed
- Transition background: UBC began migrating to Workday as part of the Integrated Renewal Program to modernize IT systems (replacing the long-used SSC). This shift unified student, HR, and financial data in a single system [UBC transitions to Workday Student][UBC Workday status updates].
- Student experience: Early rollout included onboarding tutorials and dedicated support channels; some students encountered login or navigation hiccups during peak registration periods, which UBC and its student services teams have aimed to resolve promptly [UBC transitions to Workday Student][UBC students frustrated by new Workday course registration].
- What you can access: Through Workday Student you can register for courses, view grades and transcripts, update personal information, and manage related financial tasks. On some campuses, Workday connects with HR/finance so students can log time or view pay stubs where applicable, all in one place [UBC transitions to Workday Student].
What to do if you’re having login issues
- Confirm CWL setup: Ensure your CWL is active and you’ve completed any required MFA setup (Duo app, etc.). If you’re newly admitted, make sure your CWL is created as part of the onboarding steps.
- Check system status: There are occasional outages or transition hiccups during peak times; verify the current status via UBC’s official status pages or announcements from IT/Student Services.
- Access help and tutorials: UBC has online tutorials and support channels for Workday navigation and login problems; you can typically reach advising offices or enrolment services for real-time assistance during registration windows.
