Course Accessing your Course Section Roster (Class List) and View your Teaching Schedule (including classroom location) on Workday Student
Faculty will not be able to see your 2024-2025 academic year class list in the Faculty Service Centre (FSC). You can view the registration status of your class, your Course Section Roster (class list), and your teaching schedule in Workday Student.
You will need your Campus Wide Login (CWL) and password to access Workday. (You will also need your CWL for the University to administer your teaching evaluations.) If you have not yet applied for a CWL, please do so at the Campus Wide Login (CWL) Account SignUp website. You will need your UBC Employee ID and PIN to do this. If you have not yet received an Employee ID and PIN, please contact Andrea Chiang, chiang@allard.ubc.ca.
Adding the Teaching App
If you have not already done so, add the Teaching App to your Workday profile. The Teaching app at this time may be used to view/print class lists and view assigned course schedules. Note: You will only be able to add the Teaching App to your Workday Profile once your HR teaching appointment has been finalized in Workday HR, and then your name is assigned to your course section for 2024-25 in Workday Student.
To add the Teaching app to your Workday menu:
- Log into Workday at http://myworkday.ubc.ca/
- On your Workday Home Screen, click the Menu button on the top-left corner to see your current list of applications. Verify that the Teaching App is not already on your list.
- If it is not, at the bottom of the Menu, click the “Add Apps” button, then type “Teaching” into the “Find Apps” search box
- When the search returns the result, click the plus sign that appears next to “Teaching”
- Click “Back to Menu.” The Teaching App should now be on your list.

Managing Absences to Promote Public Health
Public health controls currently require on-going daily self-assessment prior to coming to campus. Students and instructors need to stay home if they are have cold or flu-like symptoms.
To ensure that students who must self-isolate for short periods of time are not significantly disadvantaged, the law school has adopted temporary procedures for health-related short-term absences.
View our Managing Absences to Promote Public Health page for more information and the full procedures.
