Registration opens June 10, 2024 at 8:00 a.m.
In order to be promoted to the Professional Year (Year 4), teacher candidates must have completed all academic requirements for the teachable subjects and obtained a 65% average on the required senior courses (300 and 400 levels) for each teaching field. All education placements must be completed.
Teacher candidates will self-register in all courses individually. Please refer to the “Course Selection Instructions” tab below.
There are three tabs on this page: Registration Instructions, Course Selection Instructions, and Curriculum Courses. 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 July) begins in February 2025.
All secondary registrants must first create a saved schedule for each term in Winter Session (i.e., Winter Term 1 and Winter Term 2). We recommend starting with Term 1.
Click the accordions below for detailed instructions.
Step 1: Create saved schedules
Plan a conflict-free timetable by creating saved schedules prior to your registration date. You can create one or more saved schedules at myworkday.ubc.ca by adding available course sections.
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 ‘2024-25 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., “2024W Term 1 First Choice”).
- Click the “Choose Times” button to select your course sections.
Your saved schedule should contain all required courses for the winter session.
Step 2: Register in courses
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 https://workday.students.ubc.ca/.
Go to the Course Selection Instructions tab above for the list of required courses.
Step 3: Print 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. Note that your statement 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 5: Review contact info
Go to the Personal Information app in Workday to review your mailing and email addresses. Make sure they are correct.

Learn about two additional options:
International Baccalaureate (IB) Educator Stream
Secondary teacher candidates selecting this option have an interest in an international education that is concept-based, inquiry-driven and student-centered. Guided by key concepts and transdisciplinary themes, teachers create enriching, hands-on learning opportunities that promote discovery, exploration and thinking about real-world issues.
IB Elective
An IB elective is scheduled August 26-30, 2024. Attendance is mandatory.
During the year, workshops and seminars (in addition to regular BEd coursework) are provided to enhance understandings about the IB approach and facilitate links to coursework and practica.
The IB elective will fulfill the 3-credit elective requirement for the secondary BEd Program (so no elective will need to be taken in Summer 2025, although one may be taken then as an additional course if desired).
The IB Options
There are two IB options offered for secondary teacher candidates:
- IB Middle Years Programme (IB-MYP)
Teacher candidates in the IB Middle Years Programme will complete an additional 1 credit for their program. - IB Diploma Programme (IB-DP)
Teacher candidates in the IB Diploma Programme will complete an additional 2 credits for their program.
Please familiarize yourself with each of these options.
How to Apply
There are very limited seats available in the International Baccalaureate options.
An online application will be available starting June 3, 2024. A link to the online application will be emailed to teacher candidates on June 3, 2024. Interested teacher candidates must complete the online application form no later than June 16, 2024.
This is not a first-come, first-served process; selection is based on a number of variables including teachable subject/s and practicum placement location. Those applicants selected for an IB option will be notified by email as will those who were not (and will proceed with the regular secondary program based on their teachable subject/s).
Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Decolonization (EDI-D) Cohort
This cohort launched in September 2022.
The EDI-D secondary cohort will support and inspire teacher candidates, and the students and mentors they work with, to explore, develop, and deepen curricular and pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning within the particular lenses of equity, diversity, inclusion and decolonization.
Teacher candidates chosen to be participants in this cohort will engage with their peers in a cross-curricular Inquiry environment. Cohort practicum placements are scheduled to be in selected schools within the Richmond School District (SD 38).
How to Apply
There are limited seats available in the EDI-D Cohort.
An online application will be available starting June 3, 2024. A link to the online application will be emailed to teacher candidates on June 3, 2024. Interested teacher candidates must complete the online application form no later than June 16, 2024.
Those applicants selected for the EDI-D Cohort will be notified by email as will those who were not (and will proceed with the regular secondary program based on their teachable subject/s).
