2023/24 Winter Registration Guide – Elementary & Middle Years

Registration opens on June 9 & 12, 2023 at 9:00 a.m.

NOTE: All 11-month elementary & middle years teacher candidates will be assigned a June 9 registration date in the system, however, registration will be staggered by cohort.

Please review all information and instructions below carefully.

All teacher candidates take the same core courses and remain together in cohorts for most of their course work. Cohorts may have different timetables and some variation in courses. All cohorts prepare teacher candidates to teach Grades K-7.

Complete these two steps to register:

Step 1: Submit Ranked Cohort Preferences

  • Teacher candidates in the elementary & middle years option will be assigned to a cohort by the Teacher Education Office.
  • Review the list of cohorts in the Cohorts tab below.
  • You will receive an email on May 15 with instructions for submitting your ranked cohort preferences using eValue. The deadline to submit your preferences is May 22 at 4:30 p.m.
  • You must accept your offer of admission and complete the eValue consent form prior to May 15 in order to have access to eValue to submit your cohort preferences.
  • Review your cohort preference rankings carefully before May 22 as changes to rankings will not be possible after the system closes on May 22.
  • You will be advised of your cohort placement and registration date in late May/early June.
  • Please note that there are limited seats in all cohorts and a particular cohort placement is not guaranteed.

Step 2: Register in Assigned Cohort’s Timetable

  • Register in the standard timetable for your assigned cohort on the applicable date as per the Registration Instructions and Cohort Registration Schedule below.
  • Teacher candidates must only register in the standard timetable for their assigned cohort.
  • The TEO will monitor registration. TCs who register in a standard timetable for a cohort to which they have not been assigned will be de-registered by the TEO.

French Teacher Candidates: Teacher candidates with a specialization in French do not complete the cohort preference form as they will register in the Elementary French Specialization cohort standard timetable. The Elementary French Specialization cohort is restricted to teacher candidates admitted with a French specialization.

Teacher candidates may not add or drop courses from the standard timetable.

Cohorts have pre-determined practicum locations. Teacher candidates must arrange for transportation to assigned schools. Change requests based on transportation will not be approved.

After you register in your cohort, complete the Elementary & Middle Years Practicum Placement Request Form. (The practicum placement request form will be available beginning on June 10.)

Registration Instructions

You are currently registering for the Winter Session (September to June). Registration for the Summer Session (June to July) begins in February 2024.

Click the accordions below for detailed instructions.

Step 1: Pay acceptance deposit

If you have not already paid the acceptance deposit, then you must do so prior to your registration date in order to unblock your registration. Your registration date and time will be displayed on your Student Service Centre account two weeks prior to registration.


Step 2: Create a worklist

You can create a worklist at www.students.ubc.ca/ssc by adding your cohort standard timetable (STT).


Step 3: Register in a worklist or add your cohort standard timetable

On your cohort’s registration date (see Cohort Registration Schedule tab), log in to the SSC and register in a selected worklist or add your cohort standard timetable as follows:

  1. Select Session: 2023 Winter.
  2. Click Browse > Standard Timetables.
  3. Select your program: BEEM Year 1.
  4. Click on the selected cohort* and the Register STT button.

*Only register in the cohort to which you have been assigned. The Teacher Education Office will monitor registration and teacher candidates who register in a standard timetable for a cohort to which they have not been assigned will be de-registered.

The standard timetable contains all required courses for the winter session.


Step 4: Print course schedule

Click on Timetable to print your course schedule. Re-print the schedule in mid-August in case changes have been made.

You can disregard the unscheduled course warning for EDUC 418D/419D. EDUC 418D/419D is the extended practicum course and it is part of the standard timetable. The warning just means that the course will not display on your timetable view as it is not an on campus course.


Step 5: Financial summary

Click on Financial Summary for information about deadlines for tuition and fee payment.


Note that the Financial Summary will reflect tuition and student fees due for the winter session only. You will register again next February for Summer Session courses to complete your program. Additional tuition and student fees for Summer Session coursework will be assessed at that time.


Step 6: Review contact info

Review your mailing and email addresses. Make sure they are correct.
