Coexistence

Workday Student will be launched through a phased approach, starting with Launch 1 in October 2023 and Launch 2 in February 2024. As of Launch 1 in October 2023 to September 2024, Classic SIS and Workday Student will run in parallel, meaning both systems will be live and in use; this is known as the Coexistence Period.  


Launch 1 (October 2023) mainly impacted UBC’s staff and faculty as they prepare for admissions, curriculum management, and scheduling activities for Winter 2024. All activities related to 2023 Winter and 2024 Summer will continue within Classic SIS during this period of time. During Coexistence, most activities will be required to be performed in one (single entry) and a few in both systems (dual entry). 

Launch 2 (February 2024) impacts staff, faculty, and current students at UBC. Current students who are completing 2023 Winter and 2024 Summer sessions will manage administrative activities within Classic SIS, and all students (both current and new) will register and manage activities for 2024 Winter and beyond within Workday Student as of May 21, 2024. 

In the Fall of 2024, Classic SIS will go offline. All activities related to 2024 Winter and beyond will be exclusively managed through Workday Student.
