Faculty express frustration with transition to Workday Student
With UBC's implementation of Workday Student, some faculty have also expressed frustration about the transition creating possible delays and confusion.
ubyssey.caHere’s the latest on UBC Workday login status and access.
- UBC moved to Workday Student for registration, grades, transcripts, and personal/financial info as part of the Integrated Renewal Program. The transition began in 2024 and continued through 2025, with ongoing support for students during rollout.[1]
- For current access, students typically log in with their CWL (Campus-wide Login) credentials. Newly admitted students may need to set up CWL before Workday access, and online tutorials are available to navigate Workday Student.[4]
- There have been reports of login issues and outages during the transition period (e.g., authentication problems and “Workday down” posts on community forums), with IT indicating ongoing resolution efforts and support offices available to assist.[2][3]
- Official guidance and status updates come from UBC HR and IT pages, including “Welcome to Workday” resources and the Workday login instructions, which may be updated as the system stabilizes.[5][4]
- For the latest status, you can check UBC’s Workday status trackers or status pages, as well as the HR/Student Services portals for troubleshooting steps and contact points if you encounter sign-in errors.[6][5]
If you’d like, I can summarize the most relevant steps to log in based on your campus (Vancouver or Okanagan) and whether you are an undergrad, grad, or staff, and provide direct links to the login pages. Please tell me your campus and role.
