NITEP Elementary (Yr 3) registration opens July 2, 2025 at 8:30 a.m.
The TEO will register all NITEP Elementary Year 3 students in the required Education courses; however, students must complete the following steps below to add additional required courses and electives.
There are three tabs on this page: Registration Instructions, Year 4 Pre-required Courses, and Other Info. Please review all information and instructions below carefully.
Registration Instructions
You are currently registering for the Winter Session (September to April). Registration for the Summer Session (May to August) begins in February 2026.
Click the accordions below for detailed instructions.
Step 1: TEO registers you in the required Education courses
The Teacher Education Office will register NITEP Year 3 teacher candidates in the required Education courses for the 2025/26 Winter Session: EDCP 362D, EDUC 344.
Follow Step 2 to create a saved schedule to add your additional arts and science courses and Year 4 pre-required courses in consultation with the NITEP coordinator.
Step 2: Create a saved schedule for your additional courses prior to your registration date
Prior to your registration date, log into your Workday account at myworkday.ubc.ca and create a saved schedule. You will need to create two saved schedules, one for Winter Term 1 and one for Winter Term 2.
A “saved schedule” is a draft timetable in Workday where you can plan out your classes for the upcoming academic session. Creating a saved schedule does not register you in courses.
- Click the “Academics” tab in the “Your Top Apps” menu on the right side of the page.
- Click the “Registration & Courses” tab in the top menu.
- On the “Registration” menu to the very right, click the “Find Course Sections” link. You must start here to build a saved schedule.
- Select your academic term:
- In the pop-up menu, select the term you want to find course sections for:
- Click the “Start Date within” field.
- Choose ‘2025-26 Winter Term 1 (UBC-V)’.
- Select your academic level:
- In the pop-up menu, select the academic level you are searching for:
- Click the “Academic Level” field. Select ‘Undergraduate’ from the list.
- Do not select ‘Academic Level Not Applicable’. This will result in an error.
- Filter your search results.
- Add courses to your schedule.
- If you have not made any saved schedules yet, you’ll need to create a new one. Create separate saved schedules for Term 1 and Term 2. Since you can create multiple Saved Schedules, it can be helpful to identify the academic year and term in the name to avoid confusion (e.g., “2025W Term 1 First Choice”).
- Click the “Choose Times” button to select your course sections.
On your registration date, log into Workday Student and register in your saved schedules for both Winter Term 1 and Winter Term 2.
How-to tutorials for registering in Workday are available at workday.students.ubc.ca.
Step 3: View course schedule
Login to Workday and go to Academics > Registration & Courses > View My Courses to view your course schedule. Check your schedule again in mid-August in case changes have been made.
Step 4: Finances and Tuition Fees
Go to the Finances app in Workday for information about deadlines for tuition and fee payment.
Step 5: Review contact info
Go to the Personal Information app in Workday to review your mailing and email addresses. Make sure they are correct.
