New Students
Welcome to the UBC Faculty of Land and Food Systems (LFS)! We’re excited to welcome you to the LFS community at UBC – a vibrant and supportive community comprised of passionate students, researchers, instructors and staff who are committed to making a positive change in the world. We have created a course entirely designed to support you as you prepare for your studies in the fall – you will find helpful information about a variety of topics, including registering for courses with Workday Student, and more.
Current Students
UBC has replaced the Student Service Center (SSC) with a cloud-based, mobile-friendly software called Workday Student. Everyone gained access to the new system on May 21, 2024, and will be using it for all academic activities related to the 2024 Winter session and beyond. Expect to see your academic record in Workday and you can start planning your course schedule for the 2024 Winter Session. We have prepared a detailed guide in ROOTSS 201 with lots of how-to tutorials for you so you can navigate the new system smoothly.
More Information from UBC
UBC made the decision to bring a renewed, reliable and secure student information system in support of UBC’s academic mission and to give you a better experience as you navigate your time at UBC. The new Workday system offers better security for your data and options for how you access your information – it is mobile-friendly, amongst other things.
