What is Workday Student

Workday Student is the name of UBC’s renewed, reliable, and secure student information system. Workday, a cloud-based platform, will be the anchor of the system along with additional applications.  

Workday Student will be replacing UBC's current student information system to transition to a modern educational experience. This will serve as a foundation to support UBC’s academic mission, both today and into the future. 

With the launch of our renewed Student Information System, our HR, Finance, and Student systems will be connected. This unified, single, configurable, and easy-to-use application will:  

  • guarantee that user data is always readily available as the software and data are delivered to users via the cloud.    
  • allow users to perform a variety of actions using mobile, tablet, or computer devices in an easily accessible and secure environment.  
  • enable Workday HR & Finance, and Workday Student to operate within one platform, providing more integrated reporting capabilities for administrative users.  
  • ensure business continuity for UBC, by using web services that will integrate with other university applications or third-party applications.   
  • provide convenience and cohesion for users to conduct work across HR, Finance, and student services on a single interface and with one sign-on.
