A dual-active individual is a person who is a current student and a current employee at UBC. For example, a student on a Co-Op work term, or a faculty member completing a master’s degree.

Having dual-active status affects the personal information these individuals can update in Workday, and where they go for support for these updates. It also affects what they see on their Workday homepage, navigation menu, and the Workday tasks/processes they can access.

When the individual becomes a former employee or a former student or both, they will no longer be dual-active. Individuals who are a current student and former employee, or vice versa, may have both an employee record and a student record in Workday but are not considered dual-active.

Student employees who are UBC students will be dual-active. Non-UBC students employed at UBC in student positions will not be dual-active.

Note: Whether someone is considered “current” depends on their status in Workday. For example, you can be a current student even if you have not taken a course recently, or a current employee if on leave.
