Registration dates

When you'll know your registration date

You'll receive an email about a week before your registration opens to let you know that your registration appointment can be viewed in your Workday account. You'll be able to register any time between your registration appointment and the course change date, also known as the add/drop deadline.

Learn how to find your registration appointment in Workday when it’s available.

If you’re a UBC Okanagan student, please view your course registration dates for your campus.
