Progression FAQs

Q: Will the Academic Progress Report be able to allow students to simulate dropping a course to check what impact it would have on a student’s graduation requirements? Will it provide an explanation of the requirements (i.e. link to the UBC Calendar page)?

Workday Student will offer a user-friendly experience for students to see their academic requirements and follow their progression toward the degree. Academic Progress Report (APR) in Workday does not offer functionality to simulate "dropping a course" to assess the impact. APR will not include links to the UBC Academic Calendar program-specific page.
