Before registering for a course, it is important to check the Course Schedule to learn how the course is being delivered. At UBC, a single course may include multiple course activities, such as Lectures, Labs, Seminars, or other activity types.
Review the guide to UBC classes to learn about course formats and assessment at UBC.
In the Course Schedule in Workday, each course activity will show a “Mode of Delivery”, which describes how each individual component (e.g., lecture, lab, tutorial, discussion) within a course is going to be delivered.
UBC offers the following course modes of delivery for the 2024/25 Winter Session:
In some courses, one activity may be delivered online while another activity is in-person, so simply selecting “online”, “hybrid”, or “multi-access” as the Mode of Delivery for a course does not guarantee that all the course elements are fully online. For example, a course may have an online lecture, with the lab component conducted on campus.
Make sure to check the Section Notes of each course activity on the Course Schedule to confirm the Mode of Delivery. When the term begins, read the syllabus for the most up-to-date and accurate course information.
Confirm the Mode of Delivery for all the courses on your worklist before registering. The Course Schedule may continue to change up until the registration date.

Most courses will be in-person. If any component of a course is delivered in person, the Course Schedule will show that it requires in-person attendance.
You’ll receive your registration date and time by email about 2 weeks before your registration opens. Learn how to create your saved schedule and prepare for your course registration.
If you're having problems with registration, read the Workday tutorials first.
