We'll email you about 2 weeks before your registration opens to let you know your date and time are available on the Student Service Centre (SSC).
You'll be able to find your registration date and time by logging into the SSC and selecting Registration > Course Schedule > Program.
To prevent delays, pay your deposit before your registration date. It may take a day or two for your payment to be processed, depending on how you paid.
If you're new to UBC, your acceptance deposit counts as your first registration deposit. The one-time acceptance deposit is non-refundable and non-transferrable once there is any type of registration activity. Registration deposits are only refundable/transferrable until you register for a course.
Both acceptance and registration deposits will be applied toward tuition fees assessed after you register.
You can find general degree requirements and specific requirements for each program in the Academic Calendar.
If you need help with degree requirements or course planning, contact your academic advising office.
Worklists let you keep lists of courses and/or sections before you register.
You can create multiple worklists by clicking 'create new worklist'. Worklists will appear in the menu on the left. You can select a worklist from the list to add subjects, courses, sections and Standard Timetables to it.
If you're still having trouble you can always watch our step by step guide on how to register.

If you've found the course you want but it’s full, don't worry. This happens often, especially with required courses. While it may take a bit of time, with flexibility and persistence you can make your schedule work. Here are some tips.
People change courses all through the summer. If someone drops a course and a space opens up, you can register and take their place in the course.
If a course has an online waitlist it will be listed on the Course Schedule with the other course sections. Waitlisted students will automatically be moved into classes as spaces become available. If you get moved from a waitlist into a course, you won't be notified by email so check the SSC regularly.
Some departments or instructors have informal waitlists. While it's not a guarantee, it can be helpful to ask. Check the Course Schedule for your instructors contact information.
Use Course Search to find a alternate courses.
If another section of the same course is available, register for it. You may need to rearrange your schedule, but if it’s a required course it might be your best option.
If you still can’t get into the course you want, you may need to wait to take the course in another term or year. As long as you don’t need the course to advance year levels, it’s fine to take it later. Chances are you’ll be able to register for it in future sessions, or similar courses will be offered.
If you can't get into a required course, contact with your faculty advising office.
